Doha: Hamad International Airport (HIA) welcomes new direct flights from Rwanda to Qatar, facilitated by the codeshare agreement between Qatar Airways and RwandAir.
Connecting more of Africa to the world, this newest addition allows passengers from Qatar’s airport to seamlessly travel to more than 25 destinations across Africa, Europe, and Asia. Qatar Airways passengers can take advantage of the partnership and choose from three weekly flights on rwandair.com by using their Qatar Airways Qmiles.
HIA offers travellers convenient connectivity through its strategic location, with 80% of the world’s population able to connect with the airport through 6-hour flights.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, H E Akbar Al Baker, said: "Our relationship with Rwanda and RwandAir is a growing and enduring one, and we are deeply committed to the success of the airline, and to help bolster this new route from Kigali to our home Doha, and onwards.”
RwandAir Chief Executive, Yvonne Mokolo, said: "RwandAir is proud to partner with Hamad International Airport (HIA) and Qatar Airways, which will act as a catalyst to continue our recovery and demonstrates our commitment to enhance the travelling experience for our customers.
"It will provide greater connections through HIA to Qatar, and to destinations around the world on Qatar Airways, to dramatically boost the choice of routes for our customers from Kigali.”
