About Us

We began operations on 1st December 2002 as the new national carrier under the name RwandAir Express (passenger air transportation as the core activity) for Rwanda with a concession to carry out airport ground handling (ancillary activity) at Kigali International Airport. In March 2009, we registered a new trademark "RwandAir" which is our current operating name.

Operating from Kigali as our hub at the heart of Africa, RwandAir is one of the fastest-growing airlines and operates one of the youngest and state of the art fleet on the African continent which comprises four Boeing 737-800NG, two Boeing 737-700NG, two CR1900NG, two Bombardier Q-400NG all in dual-class configuration and two new triple class Airbus A330.

The airline, which is also well-reputed for its excellent on-time performance, reaches out to twenty-eight (28) cities in Western, Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. RwandAir is an IATA member airline and has been IOSA, ISAGO, and EASA certified.
