Rwanda’s national flag carrier, RwandAir has begun direct flights between Kigali and London, England, shortening the flight time for travellers between the two cities as the airline seeks to expand its service portfolio.
The new direct flight replaces the existing service between London and Kigali, launched in 2017, with one stop in Brussels, Belgium.
The inaugural flight left Kigali Sunday afternoon and landed in London Monday morning.
The carrier said there would be four direct flights weekly from Kigali to London – Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday – with return flights on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
RwandAir is ranked among the best ten African airlines by British airline review and rating company Skytrax. It currently serves 28 routes across East, Central, and Southern Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, from Kigali International airport, its hub.
