Sosiyete nyarwanda ikora ubwikorezi bwo mu kirere, RwandAir, yatangaje ko mu mubare w’indege yari isanzwe ifite hiyongereyeho Boeing 737-800 ebyiri, mu rwego rwo gukomeza kwagura ibikorwa byayo ku mugabane wa Afurika no hanze yawo.

Amakuru yashyizwe hanze kuri uyu wa 27 Kanama 2025 agaragaza ko imwe muri izi ndege nshya yageze mu Rwanda mu ntangiriro za Kanama, ikaba yaratangiye gukora ingendo, mu gihe indi yageze i Kigali mu ijoro ryo kuri uyu wa gatatu.

Buri ndege ifite ubushobozi bwo gutwara abagenzi 174, ndetse zizifashishwa cyane mu ngendo zo mu karere ka Afurika y’Iburasirazuba, Afurika yo hagati n’ibice byo mu Majyepfo ya Afurika, aho isoko ry’ubwikorezi bwo mu kirere rikomeje kwiyongera cyane.

Ububiko bw’indege za RwandAir bukomeje kwiyongera

Mbere y’izi Boeing nshya, RwandAir yari ifite urutonde rw’indege rutandukanye rugizwe na:

Airbus A330-300 imwe,

Airbus A330-200 ebyiri,

Boeing 737-800NG esheshatu,

Bombardier Q-400 Next Gen ebyiri,

Bombardier CRJ-900 NextGen ebyiri,

Boeing 737-700NG imwe.

Izi ndege nshya zije mu gihe ubuyobozi bwa RwandAir bwari bwaramaze gutangaza ko hari n’izindi zitegerejwe, harimo Airbus A330 ya kane, izagera mu gihugu mbere y’uko uyu mwaka urangira.

Intego yo kwagura amasoko

Mu kiganiro IGIHE iherutse kugirana na Fouad Caunhye, Umuyobozi Mukuru ushinzwe Ubucuruzi muri RwandAir, yavuze ko kwiyongera kw’indege ari igice cy’icyerekezo kinini cya sosiyete kigamije kongera uruhare rwayo ku isoko ry’ubwikorezi bwo mu kirere.

Ati: “Airbus ya kane iraje mbere y’uko uyu mwaka urangira. Ariko si yo ya nyuma. Hari na Boeing ebyiri ziziyongera muri Kanama na Nzeri. Bivuze ko mbere y’uko Nzeri irangira, tuzaba dufite ububiko bw’indege bwiyongereye ku rwego rushimishije.”

Yongeyeho ko sosiyete yiteguye kuzamura umubare w’abagenzi itwara buri mwaka, ikazamura “seat kilometer” iva kuri miliyoni 100 igera hagati ya miliyoni 500 na 600, bikaba ari izamuka rya 15-20% ugereranyije n’uko byari bisanzwe.

Ibiciro by’ingendo byagabanyijwe

Mu rwego rwo gushishikariza abantu gukoresha RwandAir no kwagura isoko, iyi sosiyete iherutse gutangaza igabanywa ry’ibiciro ku ngendo zayo kugera kuri 50% kugeza mu Ugushyingo 2025.

Ubuyobozi buvuga ko ari igikorwa kigamije gufasha abagenzi benshi kubona amahirwe yo gutembera no gukora ingendo z’ubucuruzi, by’umwihariko mu gihe ubukungu bwa Afurika bukomeje kuzahazwa n’ingaruka z’ibibazo mpuzamahanga.

RwandAir mu rugendo rwo kuba “hub” nyafurika. ( Hub: ikigo cyangwa ahantu hahurira ingendo nyinshi, hakaba ari nk’umutima w’itumanaho cyangwa ubwikorezi.)

RwandAir imaze igihe ifatwa nk’imwe mu masosiyete y’indege akura vuba ku mugabane wa Afurika. Ku bufatanye na Leta y’u Rwanda ndetse n’abafatanyabikorwa mpuzamahanga, iyi sosiyete irimo kugerageza kuba imwe muri “hub” zifasha abagenzi bo muri Afurika kugera ku masoko atandukanye ku isi.

Kigali, nk’umurwa mukuru w’u Rwanda, yagiye itekerezwa nk’ahantu h’ingenzi hashobora kuba igicumbi cy’ingendo mpuzamahanga, kuko hifashe neza hagati ya Afurika y’Iburasirazuba, yo hagati n’amajyepfo, bikorohereza abagenzi gukora ingendo zihuza imigabane.

Isoko ry’ubwikorezi bwo mu kirere muri Afurika riracyari rito

Abahanga mu bukungu bavuga ko isoko ry’ubwikorezi bwo mu kirere muri Afurika ritaragera ku bushobozi bwarwo. N’ubwo Afurika ifite miliyoni nyinshi z’abaturage, abagenzi bakoresha indege ntibaragera ku rugero rukwiye. Ibi bituma hari amahirwe menshi yo kwagura ibikorwa by’ubwikorezi no kugabanya ibiciro.

Nk’uko bitangazwa na International Air Transport Association (IATA), Afurika igira uruhare rutageze kuri 3% mu ngendo z’indege z’isi yose, mu gihe ifite abaturage barenga miliyari 1.2. RwandAir, kimwe n’izindi sosiyete zo muri Afurika nka Ethiopian Airlines na Kenya Airways, irimo kugerageza kuziba icyo cyuho.

Umusaruro ku bukungu bw’u Rwanda

Kwiyongera kw’indege za RwandAir bifite inyungu zigaragara ku bukungu bw’u Rwanda. Uretse gufasha abagenzi, bishobora gufasha mu kongera isura y’igihugu nk’icya “hub” y’ubukerarugendo n’ubucuruzi.

Urwego rw’ubukerarugendo rufatwa nk’imwe mu nkingi za mwamba z’iterambere ry’ubukungu bw’u Rwanda, aho abashyitsi benshi baza gusura igihugu. Kuba RwandAir ifite indege nyinshi bizorohereza abakerarugendo kugera mu Rwanda bitabanje kunyura mu bindi bihugu.

Ibibazo bikigaragara

N’ubwo hari byinshi bimaze gukorwa, abasesengura bavuga ko hari imbogamizi zikiriho:

Kuba ingendo zo mu kirere muri Afurika zigihenze. N’ubwo RwandAir yagabanyije ibiciro, abaturage benshi ntibarashobora kuyigondera.

Guhangana n’amasosiyete manini nka Ethiopian Airlines. Izi sosiyete zifite ubunararibonye ndetse n’uburambe bwisumbuyeho.

Imisoro n’amategeko y’imipaka. Benshi bavuga ko bikigoranye gutembera hagati y’ibihugu bya Afurika kubera amategeko y’ingendo atarakemuka.

Guhangana ku rwego mpuzamahanga

RwandAir iri kugerageza kwagura ibikorwa byayo ku rwego mpuzamahanga, harimo n’ingendo zerekeza i Doha muri Qatar, ku bufatanye na Qatar Airways, ndetse no mu mijyi imwe yo mu Burayi n’Ubushinwa.

Ubufatanye na Qatar Airways, aho iyi sosiyete yaguze imigabane muri RwandAir, butekerezwa nk’imwe mu ntwaro izatuma Kigali iba “hub” ikomeye mu karere.

Icyerekezo cy’igihe kizaza

Nk’uko ubuyobozi bubivuga, intego ya RwandAir ni ukuva ku rwego rwo kuba sosiyete iciriritse ikora ingendo z’akarere, ikaba sosiyete ikomeye ya Afurika ikorana n’izindi ku rwego mpuzamahanga.

Mu myaka 10 iri imbere, hateganyijwe ko izaba ifite indege zisaga 30, kandi ikaba ifite ingendo zihagije ku rwego rwo gufasha Afurika kubona uburyo bworoshye bwo guhahirana no guhahirana n’isi yose.

Kwiyongera kwa Boeing 737-800 ebyiri ku mubare w’indege za RwandAir ni intambwe ikomeye mu rugendo rwo kwagura ibikorwa no kongera ubushobozi bwo guhangana ku isoko ry’ubwikorezi bwo mu kirere.

N’ubwo hakiri imbogamizi nyinshi, harimo izijyanye n’amikoro y’abaturage n’ihangana n’amasosiyete manini, iyi sosiyete igaragaza icyerekezo cyiza, gifite ubushobozi bwo gufasha u Rwanda kwagura ubukungu bwarwo no kuba igicumbi cy’ingendo nyafurika.

Amaso y’isi yose ubu ahanze kuri Kigali, aho ubwikorezi bwo mu kirere muri Afurika burimo gutangira kwera imbuto.
