This world || RwandAir is no longer authorized to use Congolese airspace
✍️The RwandAir company plane, which was supposed to fly to London from Kigali, was forced to avoid the airspace of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on Tuesday night.
This situation is explained by the fact that the aircraft had not obtained prior authorization to fly over Congolese territory.
Usually, planes connecting Kigali to London pass through DRC airspace, which allows a more direct and therefore shorter journey. In the absence of this authorization, the aircraft had to take an alternative route, extending the flight time by 7 to 9 hours, representing additional fuel costs and a longer journey for passengers.
This ban is linked to diplomatic tensions between the DRC and Rwanda, which led Kinshasa to close its airspace to Rwandan planes as part of sanctions against Kigali, which “supports the M23 rebels with men and equipment”!
