2 Introduction Change is complex, and knowing what NOT to do is just as important as knowing what TO do! Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by hazards and this affects the safety of an organization.

3 Hazards may inadvertently be introduced into an operation whenever change occurs. These hazards that are a by-product of change should be systematically and proactively identified and managed.

4 In order to manage change successfully, It s important to consider the personal impact on those affected, and their journey towards working and behaving in new ways to support the change. The greatest danger in time of change is not the change it s to act with yesterday logic.

5 Change management therefore focuses on people and how they, as individuals and teams, move from the current situation to the new one.

6 RwandAir RwandAir has major plans to strengthen its fleet from 8 to 12 aircraft. The expansion represents a 50% increase in available seats. The airline s plan to expand its global footprint was realized with the introduction of the two new wide body A330 fleet delivered in September 2016 and November 2016

7 The expansion included new route to Europe and Asia

8 To manage this growth requires a strategic plan that transforms an organization and at the same time managing the risk and hazards associated with the change to guarantee return on investment.

Identifying Operational Need For The A330 Long Haul operations - ETOPS, New Destination Simplified documentations control - Electronic Flight Bag Europe operations - All weather Operations, De-icing Program Passenger Comfort and Entertainment - Onboard connectivity Aircraft and Cabin Definition Based Of Operational Need ETOPS Capability Onboard Connectivity capability Electronic Flight Bag installation
