This comes into effect following the announcement that the carrier is set to launch flights to Kigali. The maiden flight saw EgyptAir taking off from Cairo in the night of 27th April 2019 to land Kigali International Airport on 28th April morning.
EgyptAir shall be flying from Cairo on Thursdays and Saturdays and from Kigali on Fridays and Sundays.
The aircraft was welcomed by Rwanda’s Minister of State in charge of Transport, Eng. Jean De Dieu Uwihanganye and Egypt ambassador to Rwanda, Ahmed El Ansary.
After welcoming the aircraft, Minister Uwihanganye said in a tweet: “We are very happy to receive EgyptAir maiden flight at Kigali International Airport this morning. This is the 8th airline operating in Rwanda.”
Other airlines operating in Rwanda include Qatar Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways, Brussels Airlines, Turkish Airlines, KLM, EgyptAir and South African Airways.
The new flight is expected to ease travels between Egypt and Rwanda as passengers from Kigali had to travel with Kenya Airways and Ethiopian Airlines which landed in Kenya and Ethiopia before reaching Egypt.
