On 9th March 2022, Eswatini Air will welcome its first aircraft to the Kingdom, an Embraer ERJ 145. 

I am joined by Xavier Masule, Commercial Director and together we discuss:

  • The ownership structure and mandate of the airline
  • The passenger mix. Is the focus on business or tourism traffic?
  • Fleet plans. Why did the airline choose the ERJ 145?
  • The initial routes and when we can expect operations to commence
  • The airline's view of partnerships and the longer-term plans for the airline
