@YvonneMakolo Hi, looks like there were few issues last week with @Rwandair. Can we still fly from Brussels to/from #Kigali next month? Thx.

Wait and see ... I am curious what will happen. Yet I am not 100% sure that it will be resolved..rwandan-flyer wrote: ↑19 Jul 2017, 11:44 Manzi Eric @emanzi30 17 juil.

Re: RwandAir to fly to Brussels from July 2017
It could be resolved in a very simple way if the return flight from LGW to KGL also stops in BRU.

Re: RwandAir to fly to Brussels from July 2017
I think it's not working because then the flight arrive to late for the connections.
Hasta la victoria siempre.

The UK is making an exception for Rwandair?

Re: RwandAir to fly to Brussels from July 2017
Timetables will change, from late oct 2017 (i posted info last week), with a departure from Kigali at 8h50, instead of 10h15, but routing is still Kigali-Brussels-London-Kigali.It could be resolved in a very simple way if the return flight from LGW to KGL also stops in BRU.
It seems it happened in the past,w ith Ghana Airways or Ghana International Airlines, on its Accra-London-Dusseldorf, but it was rare.The UK is making an exception for Rwandair?

Re: RwandAir to fly to Brussels from July 2017
Yep i think, thanks to the code share agreement with Brussels Airlines, and maybe on Ethiopian Airlines, also

Re: RwandAir to fly to Brussels from July 2017
Just an idea:
How about if Rwandair & SN collaborate.
Let us say they share the route between BRU and KGL.
Say each 5 flights or so per week.
SN morning flights - Rwandair evening flights ( ex BRU)
From Brussels they connect to all European destinations of SN
From Kigali they connect with Rwandair to all Southern African destinations of Rwandair.
( Dar Es Salam, Johannnesburg, Harare, Kilimanjaro, Lusaka.....)
Visa problem solved.
win win win
Kigali has potential to be a Hub for Southern African destinations.

This information was not supposed to be public, as it was part of an internal communication of a company active at Brussels airport. That's why we did not publish it.nordikcam wrote: ↑08 Aug 2017, 16:33 Problem apparently solved and passengers can depart from Brussels to Kigali via London with WB...

Furthermore, for its BRU-KGL route, RwandAir itself mentions on its website only the flights operated in codeshare by Brussels Airlines.
Wikileaks?

Information has also been confirmed by APG Air Agencies, the representation for RwandAir in the Benelux.
Re: RwandAir to fly to Brussels from July 2017
The BRU-KGL flights are not yet in the GDS. Booking seems to be open on the RwandAir website as from 11 August, but not yet on the web travel agencies. (Thanks to RwandanFlyer for the information)

Re: RwandAir to fly to Brussels from July 2017
No competition at all: there is nobody flying BRU-LGW right now. Furthermore, even if RwandAir gets traffic rights on the route, it will be one way only.sn-remember wrote: ↑14 Aug 2017, 11:31 And I don't see why they wouldn't have 5th traffic freedom on the bru-lgw segment.
Clearly, it will be a rough competition against sn .. but that's life
