of a fleet of aircraft dedicated to this vision with the support of
the Government of Rwanda will expand in scope and operations as

exciting future business growth potential were the key factors
leading to this partnership,” commented

confident that this investment in private aviation in the East
African region, particularly Rwanda, will result in an exceptional
return on our investment and deployed assets. The positive response
by all involved parties in Rwanda to our business plan has been one
of the most satisfying of my career.”
“The aviation sector of Rwanda and its strategic location in the
Great Lakes region offers a unique opportunity for Tempus Jets to
expand its global experience in providing safe, reliable,
professionally piloted and precision-maintained private aircraft
into the region,” said Richard Masozera, Director General of the

humanitarian service, capital investments via a fleet of quality
aircraft and a growing base of skilled jobs and operations.”
