- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

Rwanda's compact and efficient capital airport, 20 minutes from the Kigali Convention Centre and the CBD, with quick CIQ and easy permits. Gateway to the Volcanoes National Park gorilla lodges (helicopter or 2.5 hours by road). The new Bugesera airport will eventually replace it (verify timing).
