Rwanda’s National carrier – Rwandair has announced the suspension of its flights to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) based cities of Goma, Kinshasha, and Lubumbashi.

The development follows RDC’s decision to suspend RwandAir flights.

“Following the decision of the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo to suspend RwandAir flights, RwandAir has decided to cancel all flights to Kinshasha, Lubumbashi, and Goma with immediate effect,” the communique released by RwandAir on Saturday 28 reads.

“We are sorry for the inconveniences and disruption this may cause to our customers and will waive change of reservation fees and offer re-issues or refunds of those affected,” the communique also reads.
