Following months of temporally shutdown, the aviation sector is slowly revamping as humanity is opting to learn and live with the novel Corona Virus. Earlier on, a senior Rwandan aviation official revealed that Rwanda will resume commercial flights to Kigali International Airport starting 1 August (next month).
In a press release, Silas Udahemuka, the Rwandan Civil Aviation Authority Director-General revealed that the eight foreign airlines that serve Kigali have requested to resume operations as per the set resumption date.
These airlines include Qatar Airways, Brussels Airlines, KLM, Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, Turkish Airways and the Kenyan company JamboJet, as well as the national carrier RwandAir.
Some of the health measures that have been instigated at the airport include self-verification systems at check-in counters that allow passengers to check-in on their own without having to physically meet with ticket agents. Each counter is equipped with a disinfectant to prevent contamination when handling documents, and the counters are protected by visors.
The seats in the waiting area will be marked to indicate to passengers to sit one meter apart, which will allow them to respect the barrier gestures.
Additionally, the boarding process will be conducted with due regard for Covid-19 security measures, and it will take place in small groups, starting at the back of the plane towards the front.
