Rwanda Air, the National Carrier of the Republic of Rwanda has been granted fifth freedom rights to operate between Entebbe (Uganda) and Nairobi (Kenya) commencing on 29th January 2015 something that will enhance the transfer of travellers on Uganda safaris and tours.

The flights will operate between these two points daily commencing 9am in the morning from Entebbe International Airport and 9pm in the evening from Nairobi.

This initiative came in following the mutual understanding between the countries of Rwanda and Kenya allowing Kenya Airways and Rwanda Air to operate between the two cities under the fifth freedom arrangement which will in turn make Entebbe (Uganda) a transit center and a destination for a range of travellers including those that would wish to undertake safaris and tours in Uganda.

The Rwanda Air will deploy its dual – class Bombardier CRJ900 next generation aircraft in its move to enhance its influence in the regional travel industry.

The Entebbe – Nairobi is seen as a move to settle the demands of business travel and mini-break travellers including those on Uganda safari tour.

The carrier which was last year granted the similar rights to operate the Entebbe – Juba route following the suspension of Air Uganda, the incorporation of Entebbe – Nairobi route is an added advantage towards its greater expansion and connecting the region facilitating the easy transfer of tourists especially under the East African Single Tourist Visa which travelers utilize to explore the region as a single destination including undertaking safari tours to Uganda to explore her tourist activities like gorilla trekking, chimpanzee trekking among others. The airline is credited for attaining the certificate of Air worthiness from International Air Transport Association (IATA).
