RwandAir launching direct London flights

RwandAir will launch direct flights between London Heathrow and Kigali next month.

The African airline has been operating flights to London via Brussels for the past five years, but from 6 November 2022, these will be replaced with a new non-stop service.

The new direct flights, which are now on sale will operate four times a week, an increase from the airline’s current indirect three times a week service.

Flights depart Kigali each Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday at 23:35, arriving in London at 06:20 the following morning.

Customers fly on A330 jets, offering Business and Economy Class.

Yvonne Makolo, RwandAir CEO, said: “We are excited to be launching direct flights to London, due to the popularity of our current services.”

“The UK is an incredibly important market for us, and we know our customers will value the shorter flight times.”

RwandAir’s new direct flights will increase access for visitors looking to see the country’s famous mountain gorillas or go on a safari at Akagera National Park.

The schedule also allows easy connections through Kigali to a wide choice of destinations across  Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

The airline has flown between London and Kigali via Brussels since May 2017.

RwandAir currently serves 28 destinations across East, Central, West, and Southern Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.
