Qatar Airways will resume Doha Kigali flights on May 14, 2025, ending its three-year suspension and reintroducing important connections to the Rwandan capital. The airline will run four flights per week using the 168-seat Airbus A320-200, replacing the larger Boeing 787-8, previously used on the route. The move will break the monopoly on the Rwandare sector, promote increased competition and provide new travel opportunities for tourism trade across Africa.
Airline returns strengthen the link between Rwanda and major global markets through Doha, the major international hub. The revived codeshare agreement with Rwandair further enhances access to the growing tourism and wider destinations and Bolster's position as aviation athlete. Annual outbound capacity from this route potentially contributes up to 2.5% of Rwanda's 2023 tourist arrivals, offering great potential for travel professionals looking to build tailored itineraries that highlight Rwandan landscapes, wildlife and cultural attractions.
