The airline shared the update on X account, on February 4, 2026.
'Due to heavy fog causing low visibility at Kigali International Airport, some flights to and from Kigali may experience delays,' the statement read. RwandAir sincerely apologized for any inconvenience this may cause to affected passengers.
Under international aviation regulations and safety standards, adverse weather conditions, such as dense fog that reduces visibility below safe operational minimums, are a valid and recognized reason for airlines to delay, divert, or suspend flights.
Pilots and air traffic control prioritize safety, and proceeding in unsafe conditions could pose serious risks, including potential accidents.
Common weather-related triggers for such disruptions include heavy rainfall, strong crosswinds, dense fog, thunderstorms, extreme temperatures, or any factors deemed hazardous by aviation authorities.
