In a statement on Friday, May 29, RwandAir said it recognises the importance of the routes to its customers and remains committed to restoring connectivity while maintaining high operational standards.
“As services resume, the safety, security, and comfort of our passengers and crew remain our highest priority,” the airline said.
Customers have been advised that they can book, manage, or update their travel arrangements through the airline’s official website, www.rwandair.com, or contact the reservations team via reservations@rwandair.com for assistance.
RwandAir suspended its flights to Dubai and the broader Middle East in February.
The suspension was introduced following escalating military tensions and widespread airspace disruptions across the Middle East. The decision came after coordinated military strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran, which triggered retaliatory missile and drone responses in the region.
In response to the heightened security situation, several countries, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Kuwait, temporarily restricted or closed their airspace to commercial aviation, disrupting regional and international flight operations.
At the time, RwandAir said the suspension was a precautionary measure taken to ensure the safety of passengers and crew amid active security risks.
With conditions gradually stabilising, the airline has opted to restore operations on a phased basis, signalling a cautious return to one of its most important international markets.
