RwandAir is to launch daily direct services between London Heathrow and Kigali this winter, as it continues to expand its European network and meet the extra demand for UK flights.
The airline has been operating from London since 2017, will increase capacity on its London Heathrow route from October 29, 2023, with the addition of a new daily service. The new direct flights, which are on sale from today, will operate daily, which marks a significant increase from the airline’s current four-weekly operation.
The airline plans to deploy its A330 on the route.
Yvonne Makolo, chief executive, RwandAir said: “London is an incredibly important market for RwandAir, so we are incredibly excited to be adding direct daily flights from our home in Kigali to London Heathrow. Having first launched flights to the British capital in 2017, we have continued to build our presence following strong demand from customers here in the UK and Africa.”
This news comes on the heels of RwandAir’s inaugural flights from Kigali to Paris CDG, its third European destination, which took off late last month. This winter, the airline will now offer seven weekly flights to London, three weekly flights to Paris and three weekly flights to Brussels.
