The Rwandan national airline has reaffirmed its desire to continue with the privatization process at some stage in the future, when the value of RwandAir has increased and interest in the acquisition of the shares set aside for a core investor has been rekindled in the aviation market.

The process of privatization was well near halted some time ago, when the erstwhile suitors had either withdrawn their interest or been told they could add no value to the airlineโ€™s future with their proposals.
