RwandAir will launch its first ever direct flights to Paris in June. This means passengers flying from Kigali to Paris will reach their destination in eight and a half hours.
From June 27, the thrice-weekly flights will link the two cities – a signal event in the life of the young, rapidly-growing airline.
RwandAir CEO, Yvonne Makolo, said: “The launch of our first-ever flights to Paris is an exciting development in RwandAir’s continuing expansion and a testament to the importance of French-Rwandan relations.
“France is a major hub for RwandAir as we connect the continents of Africa and Europe through our home hub in Kigali with this new direct service to Paris, one of the world’s top tourist destinations. French travellers can look forward to a warm welcome.”
