RwandAir to fly daily from Dubai

From November onwards, it will serve Kigali with a daily flight. The new schedule is giving more choice to business travelers between Rwanda and the UAE, at times when the two countries are fostering cooperation in various areas. 

Simultaneously, the additional flights allow fast and seamless connections in Kigali to the RwandAir network. In a major overhaul of its operations and with brand new aircraft joining the fleet this month, Rwanda's national carrier RwandAir, also adjusted frequencies to other existing cities served. Lagos, Brazzaville, Libreville and Johannesburg are conveniently connected to the Dubai flights. Closer to its base in Kigali, RwandAir offers equally immaculate connections to Nairobi, Entebbe, Kilimanjaro, Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Mwanza and Bujumbura. 

In a statement to the press, RwandAir CEO John Mirenge said: “We are looking forward to welcome more travelers onto our brand new aircraft. Connecting through Kigali now becomes a real alternative”. 

The airline’s Commercial Director, Bert van der Stege, said: “With the arrival of two new aircraft and the re-design of our current pattern of operations, we are able to enhance the efficiency of our network. Improving connectivity is key for our airline to attract more passengers”.   

RwandAir is famous for conveniently connecting passengers through Kigali International Airport. Still relatively small in size, the airport and the airline are able to provide seamless transfers and a much more personalized service. This ensures connecting through the heart of Africa on RwandAir is an excellent alternative for passengers, compared to bigger and busier airports elsewhere in Africa.
