Rwanda’s national airline, RwandAir, has just confirmed that effective today, May 27, flights to and from Bujumbura will resume.
Most airlines had suspended flights when the airport was closed as a result of the purported coup attempt, but most airlines from the region and beyond have now started to resume services. While few foreigners are presently visiting Burundi as a result of prohibitive visa requirements, many expatriates are still leaving the country, and the availability of scheduled flights will help them to accomplish that.
The country remains fundamentally unstable, and there is going by a broad range of advisories from foreign offices to their respective citizens indicating to only visit on essential business.
