Rwanda's flag carrier, RwandAir, has announced that the flight schedule between Kigali and Brussels will become non-stop effective 31 October 2017. The airline will continue to offer three weekly flights from/to Brussels on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; however flights from Brussels to Kigali will no longer be operated via London Gatwick Airport (LGW) in London which will eliminate the requirement for non-Schengen citizens to hold a UK transit visa and to disembark for rescreening at London Gatwick Airport (LGW). Passengers embarking from London Gatwick Airport (LGW) will stay onboard the aircraft at Brussels Airport (BRU) in Brussels and will not need a Schengen transit visa.
RwandAir's state of the art Airbus A330 fleet, configured in a triple class cabin with inflight connectivity will continue to operate the Brussels – Gatwick route and conveniently connect across Africa via Kigali.

Malawi to introduce a new entry fee for visitors!
(update 29 June 2015): According to the latest update of the foreign travel advice Malawi by GOV.UK, the government of Malawi has advised that plans to introduce an entry fee for visitors from any country requiring visas for Malawian Citizens visiting their country of citizenship on 01 July 2015 have been postponed.
According to the African Travel and Tourism Association (ATTA), Malawi is set to implement a new US$75 "entry fee" for visitors from any country requiring visas for Malawian Citizens visiting their country of citizenship. From 01 July 2015, all passport holders from Schengen member states, the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and most Middle East countries will be required to pay the new entry fee upon arrival. Citizens of Southern African Development Community (SADC) and Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) member states (excluding Angola) are exempt from the fee. We'll keep you posted!
