Slovenia seeks Rwanda air deal

NEWS FLASH


The Slovenian government last week adopted an initiative to secure a bilateral Air Service Agreement with Rwanda “The establishment of a scheduled air service between the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Rwanda is in the economic interest of both countries. Representatives from the Slovenian aviation industry have expressed their interest in concluding a bilateral Air Service Agreement between the two countries, namely due to the possibility of operating cargo flights”, the Slovenian government said. It added it would consult the European Commission during the negotiating process but said it does not believe there would be any obstacles in concluding the deal with its Rwandan counterparts.

      Cargo would make sense only if RwandaAir had a cargo plane, but they dont. They have a passenger A330, which would be empty, so flying that big plane just for cargo makes absolutely no sense

      Not true Rwandair has Boeing 737-800SF (converted cargo) and will probably add a Airbus A330F next year.

    Most of you laughed but Rwanda has a decent fleet of 12 aircraft including the A330 neo, something not even 1 sole ex-YU country has. It is nicknamed the Singapore of Africa for those who are not familiar. Also check their largest GDP per capita, which is 4 times higher during the last 20 years. Look at Kigali photos and you will be very surprised.

      14:21 read the article. It also related to cargo flights. A quick online search indicates that Rwanda is one of the world's largest producers of tin, tantalum, and tungsten (3Ts) and also exports gold and gemstones. Rwanda also possesses a variety of minerals such as silica sands, kaolin, vermiculite, diatomite, clays, limestone, talcum, gypsum, and pozzolan.
      Remember that LJU has a cargo potential....

      Delete
    4. Anonymous15:21

      anon at 14:21, that kind of cargo, with the exception of gold and gemstones goes by sea freight. what's more potent for cargo is, that the country is centrally located, has increasingly better infrastructure, increasingly acting as a hub for the surrounding countries.

      so you should look at it as an entry and exit point for all the surrounding countries and LJU the same way. consolidated cargo through the week at LJU from across the region and bringing it 1/week to Kigali and vice versa.

      15:21 Yes. LJU can act as a cargo starting point for those raw materials. Every airport can find a possible point where it can benefit from it. LJU is possibly considering becoming a cargo hub similar to Zaragoza and Luxembourg or Liège in BE.

Uradnemu fototerminu in vpisu predsednice Državnega zbora v Knjigo gostov bo najprej sledil pogovor na štiri oči med predsednicama obeh parlamentov, nato pa še pogovor med obema parlamentarnima delegacijama. V ponedeljek se bo predsednica Državnega zbora z delegacijo srečala tudi s predstavniki UWONET.

      V torek, 4. aprila 2023, bo predsednico Državnega zbora z delegacijo sprejel minister za zunanje zadeve Republike Ugande Odongo Jeje Abubakha, v Predsedniški palači Republike Ugande pa je predvideno srečanje s predsednikom Republike Ugande Yoweri-em Kaguta Museveni-em.

      V sredo, 5. aprila 2023, bo predsednica Državnega zbora mag. Urška Klakočar Zupančič z delegacijo začela uradni obisk v Republiki Ruandi. V Kigaliju jo bo sprejela gostiteljica, predsednica Poslanske zbornice Republike Ruande Donatille Mukabalisa. V Parlamentu Republike Ruande bosta predsednici obeh parlamentov imeli najprej pogovor na štiri oči, nato pa bodo sledili plenarni pogovori med parlamentarnima delegacijama Republike Slovenije in Republike Ruande. Ob koncu pogovorov bo sledil uradni fototermin in nato še izjava predsednice Državnega zbora za predstavnike medijev Republike Ruande. V spremstvu predsednice Poslanske zbornice Republike Ruande bo predsednica Državnega zbora z delegacijo isti dan obiskala tudi "Kigali Genocide Memorial", kjer se bo vpisala v knjigo gostov in položila venec.

Jeanne d'Arc Mujawamariya, predstavnikom ruandskega organa za upravljanje okolja (REMA) in predstavnikom ruandskega sklada za okolje in podnebne spremembe (FONERWA).

      Uradni obisk Republike Ugande in Republike Ruande bo potekal v luči prizadevanj za krepitev odnosov z afriškimi državami. Srečanja z visokimi predstavniki obeh držav bodo lahko prispevala k boljšemu poznavanju izzivov in priložnosti afriškega kontinenta, hkrati pa predstavljajo možnost za boljšo predstavitev Slovenije in njenih aktivnosti v Afriki. Slednje je še zlasti pomembno v času pridobivanja podpore za članstvo Republike Slovenije v Varnostnem svetu OZN.
