RwandAir has announced it will be operating daily direct services between London Heathrow and Kigali this winter,
The carrier has seen extra demand for UK flights and will increase London Heathrow route capacity from 29 October 2023, with the addition of a new daily service.
RwandAir is operating the flight on its Airbus A330 aircraft featuring up to 30 fully lie-flat Business Class seats and a spacious Economy Class which has up to 244 seats. Passengers will be offered complimentary in-flight dining, free drinks and wide range of in-flight entertainment on seat back video screens.
Yvonne Makolo, RwandAir CEO, 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.
“We know these new daily direct flights will offer customers the convenience and connectivity which they have long asked for, and look forward to welcoming more visitors to Rwanda.”
The new flights, which start from £587 in Economy Class and £2,199 in Business Class, including all taxes and charges, will increase access for those looking to see mountain gorillas, experience Rwanda’s majestic scenery or go on a safari in Akagera National Park.
