SalamAir announces new direct service to Kigali, Rwanda

Oman’s low-fare airline SalamAir is now offering tickets for its newest route to Kigali, Rwanda, with flights set to start on 21st July 2026 subject to regulatory approvals.

The carrier will be operating two weekly flights between Muscat and Kigali on Tuesday and Thursday.

SalamAir says the addition of Kigali marks another milestone in the airline’s strategic expansion and builds on its continued growth across Africa. The airline expects the route to support increasing commercial exchange between Oman and East Africa. Steven Allen, Chief Commercial Officer at SalamAir, said: “Kigali is a natural addition to our growing African network, offering strong fundamentals across business and leisure travel.

“Rwanda has seen consistent growth in tourism and business travel in recent years. Kigali itself is a vibrant, modern gateway—known for its culture, markets, and historical landmarks—and it opens the door to some of Africa’s most compelling nature and eco‑tourism attractions. As part of our wider network strategy, we remain focused on linking Oman with high‑growth markets through affordable, reliable, and direct connectivity.”
