RwandAir has resumed its regular scheduled flights to Mumbai, India.
The flag carrier of Rwanda will operate 2X-weekly flights departing Kigali (KGL) on Mondays and Fridays at 11.40 pm local time and arriving in Mumbai at 11.30 am local time.
Under the new schedules, the Kigali-based carrier has also increased its services to Dubai operating now five weekly flights.
Since August last year, RwandAir has gradually resumed commercial flights across its global network, including most of its African routes, as well as some long-haul destinations such as London Heathrow, Brussels and Dubai.
The airline is also preparing to launch two new services to Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in the coming week.
A 2X-weekly route between Kigali and Lubumbashi (FBM) will start September 29. Another 2X-weekly service will commence October 15 between Kigali and Goma (GOM).
The KGL-FBM route will be operated with a Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft, while the KGL-GOM route will be flown with a De Havilland Dash 8-400 turboprop aircraft. Both routes will be operated on Mondays and Wednesdays.
