The airline’s proactive response aims to provide flexibility and support to travelers affected by the disruptions.
The waiver, coded “WBRIW1DFSME,” allows passengers to make one free change to their travel dates until September 30, 2025.
RwandAir encouraged affected customers to contact its reservations team at reservations@rwandair.com or their travel agent for assistance in rescheduling their journeys.
“We’re pleased to offer this complimentary rebooking waiver to all affected passengers,” the airline stated in its update, emphasizing its commitment to passenger convenience during the crisis.
The cancellations, announced on Monday night, affected flights WB300 and WB303 between Kigali and Doha, as well as all services to and from Dubai.
The decision followed Qatar and the United Arab Emirates’ closure of their airspace in response to a significant military escalation in the Gulf.
Qatar’s air defense systems intercepted multiple Iranian missiles over Doha, launched by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in a strike targeting U.S. forces at Al Udeid Air Base.
The IRGC described the operation as retaliation for alleged U.S. attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. Qatar reported no casualties, but the airspace closures disrupted air travel across the region.
Following a brief suspension, Qatar Airways and Dubai Airports have confirmed the resumption of operations.
