From Kigali, its hub at the heart of Africa, RwandAir is known for excellent on time performance and is one of the safest airlines on the continent.
It operates one of the youngest fleet in Africa.
With eleven aircraft, the young airline currently reaches out to nineteen cities in western, eastern and southern Africa as well as the Middle East.

The Gatwick flight follows the earlier announcement of flights from Kigali to Harare on April 1st and to Mumbai, India, on the April 3rd.
Also on the horizon for RwandAir are flights to Conakry and Lilongwe, among other destinations eyed by the Rwandan national airline, to improve intra-African connections while also eying to launch flights to New York by the end of the year.
All this is supporting the country’s ambition to become a top five meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions destination by next year and remain a leading tourism destination in Eastern Africa.
Early signs of success include an announcement the World Travel Awards will visit Rwanda in October for the Africa Gala Ceremony 2017.
