RwandAir Suspends Mumbai Flights
RwandAir, Rwanda’s national flag carrier has suspended Mumbai flights effective 15th of March 2024, in a statement issued by the airline on its social media platforms in line with its continuous service improvement strategy. In the statement, passengers holding RwandAir tickets after this date were advised to contact the airline or their preferred travel agents for refunds or rebooking options.
Commenting on why the national carrier plans flight suspension to India’s most populous city, RwandAir ‘s acting Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) Andrew Best Owie told Rwanda’s leading daily, The New Times that: “RwandAir started this route seven years ago, and has continuously sought new ways to improve on its service delivery on the route.
“Hence, the need to source and deploy the right product to serve our esteemed passengers on the route has necessitated our action for now. Our present constraint to operate a non-stop flight to India is a major challenge which the airline hope to resolve in the nearest future with the right product in place.”
Rwandair operates domestic and international services to East Africa, Central Africa, West Africa, Southern Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, from its main base at Kigali International Airport in Kigali.
