RwandAir will commence scheduled flights between Kigali and Guangzhou, the provincial capital of Guangdong and the third-largest city in China, effective 18 June, 2019.

The new service to Guangzhou which will be tagged to the airline's existing Mumbai route, will be operated three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays using a three-class Airbus A330 aircraft.

Onboard the A330, passengers will enjoy state-of-the-art technology and features including Wi-Fi, in-flight entertainment, and comfortable seats with more legroom.

Guangzhou is an expansive port city northwest of Hong Kong on the Pearl River. The city, which is one of the major shopping destinations for merchants also features popular tourist attractions such as the iconic Canton Tower and Guangzhou Chimelong Tourist Resort.

Guangzhou will be RwandAir’s second destination in Asia following Mumbai, which has been operational since April 2017. This new route will extend RwandAir’s network to 28 destinations.
