The east African nation's flag carrier, RwandAir, was approached by British ministers last year to operate flights carrying irregular migrants from the UK.
Rwanda 's state airline turned down an offer from the UK Government to operate removals flights for migrants as part of the new asylum deal.
However, their refusal - first reported by the Financial Times - is not believed to have caused any damage to the scheme's implementation. Rishi Sunak welcoming President of Rwanda Paul Kagame outside No 10 during a visit to London yesterday Advertisement The Ministry of Defence will be a 'close partner' in the Rwanda asylum programme, the Mail can disclose, raising the prospect of migrants being deported aboard military jets.
If similar scenarios develop in the run-up to the first Rwanda flights - expected in May or June - the MoD could provide a 'back-stop', it is thought. The RAF has a 14-strong fleet of Voyagers in standard configurations which can each carry up to 291 passengers, and are thought to be the most likely option for Rwanda flights.
