RwandAir will launch direct flights between London Heathrow and Kigali next month, from November 6, 2022.
The African airline has been operating flights to London via Brussels for the past five years, but from next month, these will be replaced with a new non-stop service to cater to increased customer demand.
The new direct flights, which are on sale from £661 return will operate four times a week, an increase from the airline’s current indirect three times a week service.
The return flight departs the British capital at 20:30 each Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, arriving at RwandAir’s home hub at 07:00 the following morning.
Customers traveling to the ‘Land of a Thousand Hills’, will experience RwandAir’s state-of-the-art A330, which offers a choice of flying in Business Class or Economy Class.
Yvonne Makolo, RwandAir CEO, said: “We are excited to be launching direct flights to London, which are on sale from today, due to the popularity of our current services.
“The UK is an incredibly important market for us, and we know our customers will value the shorter flight times and increased connections that will be offered by the new service.”
