RwandAir has announced the resumption of its route to and from Harare, among other southern African destinations.
In a notice to its clients, the airline said it will resume flights to Harare and Cape Town, South Africa on 14 May 2021 with two weekly flights on Fridays and Sundays. It said:
We are pleased to announce the resumption of our services to Lusaka with two weekly flights on Wednesdays and Fridays effective 7th May 2021.
Our services to Harare and Cape Town will resume as well on 14th May 2021 with two weekly flights on Fridays and Sundays.
The Rwandan national carrier resumed flights to Johannesburg, South Africa and Lusaka, Zambia, this Friday, 7 May 2021.
The suspension happened in February following the detection of a new variant of COVID-19 in South Africa.
A certificate of a negative COVID-19 test is required for all travellers arriving, transiting, or departing from Rwanda.
The only accepted test is a SARS-Cov 2 real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) performed within 72 hours of departure time, according to guidelines in place.
