Flights were suspended in response to what it claimed was Kigali's support for M23 rebels carrying out a military offensive in the eastern province of North Kivu. Rwanda has denied supporting the rebels.
In a statement, RwandAir said: “We consider the safety and security of our customers and crew.”
RwandAir will cancel all flights to Kinshasa, Lubumbashi, and Goma with immediate effect.
