J'avais posté cette info il y a quelques années sur un forum. La personne en question avait (un peu) juste.rwandan-flyer a écrit : ↑jeu. 23 mars 2017, 11:38 Hi
Today, someone said on Twitter, there is rumor, that a Germany-Kigali (Rwanda)-Vic Falls (Zimbabwe) route could open. Any one has some infos ?
" i keep hearing of a proposed link between Germany - Kigali - Victoria Falls. idk who or when"

If it's true i don't see Air Berlin, but probably an airline from Lufthansa group (Eurowings or Lufthansa CityLine)
Lutfhansa has codeshare agreements with Brussels Airlines (6 weekly service to Kigali) and Ethiopian Airlines (double daily service to Kigali. )RwandAir (which has important ties with Lufthansa) planned to serve Frankfurt, but they are now focused on London, now.
In 2013 Germany was the 3rd market in Europe, for Rwanda, behind UK and Belgium, with 9,180 visitors ( i don't have recent stats, but i bet the figure has grown, since 2013. Ties improved between Rwanda & Germany since 2-3 years). Of course the airline is not targeting only point to point traffic

The only problem, is despite growing fast, Rwanda market is not enough very big. I don't know if there is enough space for 4 European airlines (KLM, Brussels Airlines, Turkish Airlines and a German Airline) plus RwandAir, btw Europe and Rwanda. There are also Kenya Airways, Qatar Airways and Ethiopian which serve Rwanda.
Bon Victoria Falls c'est fait, donc on devrait bientôt voir Kigali (avec un petit double toucher via Kilimandjaro comme KLM a fait en 2014). Évidement il s'agit de mon opinion et non d'une info confirmée
