According to Business Traveller, the service will operate thrice weekly starting on June 27, departing Kigali on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 00:30 and arriving in Paris at 09:30.
On the same days, the return flight will leave Paris at 21:30, arriving in Kigali at 06:00 the next day.
The carrier’s new route will be the only non-stop service connecting Rwanda and France, complementing the current non-stop flights to London Heathrow.
As part of the airline’s growth plan, it aims to increase its fleet size over the next five years and establish a new base at Bugesera International Airport.
The airport’s first phase is projected to open in 2026, and RwandAir is also examining the possibility of joining the Oneworld alliance.
The CEO of RwandAir, Yvonne Makolo has told Business Traveller that the direct flight to Paris is a significant development for the airline’s expansion and a testament to the importance of the French-Rwandan relationship, connecting two continents via its home hub in Kigali.
She added that French travellers can anticipate a warm welcome onboard.
