Oct 15, 2018: EgyptAir is planning to launch thrice a week flights between Cairo and Kigali, Rwanda from February 2019.

At the same time, a new route to Douala / Cameroon will be launched too, also with three flights a week. The new flights from Egypt to Rwanda are seen as a direct result of the Egyptian president’s visit to Rwanda last year when aviation and air links were also on the agenda of the meeting.

EgyptAir has yet to confirm the aircraft type for the operation to both Kigali and Douala but it is expected that the airline will us Airbus A320 aircraft in a dual class configuration of business and economy.
