HBX Group and Onlinetravel powers RwandAir's RwandAir Holidays launch
RwandAir has unveiled RwandAir Holidays, its new all-in-one travel booking platform.
This new service was made possible through a strategic collaboration with HBX Group, which provides a selection of hotels, airport transfers, and in-destination experiences, and with Onlinetravel, for dynamic packaging technology and 24/7 customer support to power the platform.
RwandAir Holidays roll out is integrated into RwandAir’s website so customers can now plan and book trips that combine RwandAir flights and other travel products without leaving the platform.
The platform also allows customers to select seats, add baggage, and secure travel insurance, all in a single booking process.
The news comes just two weeks after it was announced HBX Group also helped make Turkish Holidays, by Turkish Airlines, possible.
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.”
Mark Antipof, chief growth officer at HBX Group, said: “Today’s travellers expect a seamless and connected booking experience, and we are thrilled to support RwandAir in making that a reality through RwandAir Holidays.
"Our role is to provide the best non-air content—from hotels to in-destination experiences - ensuring RwandAir customers can build the perfect trip around their flights. This partnership is a great example of how technology and collaboration can redefine airline retailing.”
Ricardo Fernández, CEO of OnlineTravel, added: “At OnlineTravel, we are committed to empowering airlines with the technology they need to deliver seamless and dynamic travel experiences.
"Through our advanced packaging solutions, RwandAir Holidays provides travellers with an effortless way to book their entire journey in one place, combining flights with handpicked accommodations, transfers, and experiences.
"We are proud to support RwandAir in this exciting step forward, helping them unlock new revenue opportunities while enhancing the travel experience for their customers."
