RwandAir has selected Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) as its cargo handler for flights to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.

The airline is connecting Paris and Kigali with 3 Airbus A330 flights a week, its first direct service to France and RwandAir’s 25th destination.

WFS will provide full cargo handling services, supporting freight forwarding customers and its GSA partner in France, Network Airline Services.

The flights depart Paris on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

We know this fantastic new route to the French capital will prove very popular with our customers. We look forward to growing our presence in the French market as we continue to expand our international route network and connect Africa with Europe and more overseas destinations.”

RwandAir is recognised for its on-time performance, customer service, and safety and these reflect WFS’ own core values. We look forward to a long and successful partnership.”
