RwandAir Limited is the flag carrier airline of Rwanda, operating from its main hub at Kigali International Airport.

Internationally, it flies to major cities like Brussels, London, Paris, Dubai, Doha, and Mumbai.

In 2016, RwandAir received International Air Transport Association's Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO).

The flight departed from Boeing Field in Seattle, Washington, United States, at 5:30 PM PST.

[14] In February 2013, John Mirenge announced that the airline would fly to Accra, Cape Town, Harare, Juba, and Zanzibar.

RwandAir plans to base two Boeing 737 aircraft at Cotonou International Airport in Benin.
