Rwanda’s national carrier, RwandAir successfully made its first flight to Dubai on Friday night as it had planned.

The airline also announced that it offered an upgrade to business class to the first two passengers who checked-in online on flight WB304 from Kigali to Dubai. Flight WB304 from Kigali to Dubai took off shortly after 1AM.

Other destinations are yet to be announced and that resumption dates will be communicated in due course, RwandAir said on Saturday. Most of it’s registered routes such as China, DRC, Senegal, S. Sudan, and others, “remain temporarily suspended until further notice.”

Should a guest wish to remain in the hotel after receiving negative test results, they are welcome to extend their stay at the applicable hotel’s normal rates. Guests can also choose to book another hotel after receiving their negative test results.

The negotiated hotel rate is on a full board basis (inclusive of three meals) and airport pick up upon arrival.

However, if a guest takes less than three meals, no refund will be provided. The meals are inclusive of water or a soft drink. Any extras will be paid for separately on order.
