RwandAir has announced the suspension of select flights to and from the Middle East due to the evolving regional situation, affecting services between Kigali, Doha, and Dubai.
According to an official travel advisory, flights WB300/WB303 operating between Kigali and Doha, as well as WB304/WB305 serving the Kigali–Dubai route, have been suspended until further notice. The airline cited safety considerations as the primary reason for the temporary halt in operations.
The RwandAir Middle East flight suspension comes as several carriers reassess operations across the region amid heightened uncertainty. While no timeline has been provided for the resumption of services, the airline confirmed it is actively monitoring developments and will communicate updates as new information becomes available.
RwandAir emphasized that the safety of passengers and crew remains its top operational priority. The carrier has introduced flexible travel options for affected customers, allowing them to reschedule their tickets for a later date without penalty.
Passengers impacted by the flight cancellations are encouraged to contact the airline’s reservations team via email at reservations@rwandair.com or liaise directly with their preferred travel agents for assistance with rebooking and itinerary adjustments.
The temporary suspension affects key routes connecting East Africa with major Middle Eastern hubs, including Doha and Dubai, both of which serve as significant transit points for international travelers.
