RwandAir suspends SA flights

Posted on 9 February 2021

RwandAir announced that flights to and from Johannesburg and Cape Town will be temporarily suspended. The suspension went into effect on February 8 and will remain in place until further notice.

This comes as the pandemic continues to create uncertainty for the global travel industry and the concerns over the ‘Covid variants prevalent throughout Southern Africa.

The airline has also suspended flights to Harare, Zimbabwe and Lusaka, Zambia.

Passengers affected by the suspension can either rebook and fly at a later date for free or request a refund, the airline said.

In December 2020, RwandAir resumed the Kigali-Lusaka-Harare-Cape Town routes after an eight-month suspension because of the COVID-19 lockdown.

Last week, Emirates announced they will resume commercial operations to South Africa from February 28, extending their suspension to and from the country.
