IATA Vice-President, Raphael Kuuchi, announced this on Tuesday in Kigali that the recognition came into effect at the weekend during the handing over of the certificate of recognition to the airline at the Kigali International Airport.
According to Kuuchi, the carrier was recognised by IATA for the strength of its recently commenced flights from Kigali to several African cities, giving RwandAir a green light to fly to any part of the world.
