RwandAir launches ‘RwandAir Holidays’ Booking Platform in partnership with HBX Group and Onlinetravel
Palma, Spain, 11 March 2025 — RwandAir has unveiled RwandAir Holidays, a comprehensive all-in-one travel booking platform with exclusive deals and offers that allow customers to seamlessly book their flight and all their travel needs in one place. This new service is made possible through a strategic collaboration with HBX Group, which provides a robust selection of hotels, airport transfers, and in-destination experiences, and with Onlinetravel, whose cutting-edge dynamic packaging technology and 24/7 customer support will power the platform.
Intuitively integrated into RwandAir’s website, RwandAir Holidays allows customers to effortlessly plan and book their trips by combining RwandAir flights with a wide array of travel products without leaving the platform. Whether it’s a short city escape, a multi-week getaway, or a personalised business trip, travellers can tailor their journeys by choosing their preferred length of stay, accommodations, airport transfers, and unique local experiences. The platform also allows customers to select their seats, add baggage, and secure travel insurance, all in a single, hassle-free booking process.
Fouad Caunhye, Chief Commercial Officer at RwandAir, said: “RwandAir has long provided connections to travellers flying to Africa and beyond, which we’re building on with the launch of RwandAir Holidays. Now, our customers can book a complete package holiday using our simple, convenient platform. RwandAir Holidays gives travellers the means to choose their ideal holiday or trip in a few easy steps.”

This partnership is a great example of how technology and collaboration can redefine airline retailing.”
