RwandAir, the national airline of Rwanda has announced a suspension of all its flights to Uganda effective Thursday, June 10, 2021.

The decision was announced in a statement published on the airline’s website and social media platforms.

The suspension follows a surge of COVID-19 cases in Uganda with the country currently battling with a devastating second wave of the pandemic.

“Due to a surge in COVID-19 cases in Uganda, RwandAir announces the suspension of its flights to Entebbe effective 10 June 2021, until further notice,” the airline said.
