Rwanda expects to have a new airport in 2014 and has set aside $98 million as capital for its national airline over the next three years with a view to then selling it off once it breaks even, a top government official said on Friday.

RwandAir was expected to break even in 2013. The government had spent some $84 million to buy two aircraft from Deutsche Lufthansa after getting a $40 million loan from th Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank (PTA) earlier.

RwandAir has  acquired two Bombardier CRJ200 craft for $14 million and expects two Boeing 737 aircraft, due for delivery in 2011.
