Qatar Airways won't be returning to Kigali before September


It looks like Qatar Airways is very slow to resume flights after the Middle East crisis sparked by Trump. Emirates and Etihad are acting much faster.

Salamair flights are no longer available for booking. They were not available on the airline's website, but on other booking platforms. Has the airline reversed course (even though there haven't been any official announcements)?

No official announcement has been seen, but it seems RwandAir has begun a codeshare agreement with EgyptAir. Indeed, the Cairo-Kigali-Cairo service (via Entebbe on the return), operated by EgyptAir three times a week, is a codeshare with RwandAir.

Cairo is also served by RwandAir through ...

As surprising as it may seem, Brussels Airlines is arguably the best performing airline in Europe to serve Sub-Saharan Africa, despite being the smallest of the airlines if we talk BA, AF, KL or TAP. SN closed Bamako in 2010s and Luanda last year. But it has opened Accra, reopened Nairobi, will open ...

Royal Air Maroc Prepares Cuts That Threaten Tourism

Faced with soaring kerosene prices linked to tensions in the Middle East, Royal Air Maroc plans to eliminate several flight routes. This downsizing primarily targets unprofitable flights and directly threatens domestic tourism.

Well Flights will start in one year, they have a time.

I confess I'm a bit confused. SalamAir is launching flights to Kigali starting September 1, 2026, twice a week. In 2018, Oman Air planned to serve Kigali within a few years, then SalamAir was slated for 2024, then Oman Air again for 2026, and now it's SalamAir once more.

RwandAir but Rwanda are dealing with customer service issues since many many many times. Things are not really moving fast.

They expend RwandAir fleet quickly, the country is a growing destination for the tourism, in term of efficiency in public sector Rwanda is one of the best country in Africa ...

If the Brussels Airport website is right, Emirates will come back with one flight per day.

Also some flights to Doha would restart. Many are still canceled (second to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, ...)

Sean Mendis is always well-informed about Ethiopian Airlines. In addition to its order for five 777X Freighters and two B777-300ERSFs, Ethiopian will convert its six B777-200LRs into freighters. In the long term, they will have more than 20 B777F freighters (they already have 12 B777Fs). This is in ...

What is the current BASA between DR Congo and Belgium ? I guess rights are very limited : 7 flights / week for Belgians airlines and 7 flights / week for DR Congo airlines.

It seems that Air Congo wants to serve Brussels from late May 2026 or early June 2026. Paris and Dubai (when the situation will be better) are also in project. I guess they could use Ethiopian B787 as Air Congo is member of Ethiopian Airlines Group, because all DR Congo airlines (aircraft registered ...
