About RwandAir
RwandAir is the state-owned flag carrier of Rwanda, flying from Kigali International Airport. It is a compact airline whose network concentrates on East, Central, West and Southern Africa, with longer routes to the Middle East and Europe. Kigali's position in the middle of the continent makes it a workable transfer point for trips between African regions that otherwise need awkward routings. RwandAir is not a member of Star Alliance, oneworld or SkyTeam, but it has a close commercial partnership with Qatar Airways that includes codeshare flights. It sells business class and economy.
A developer building an Africa-focused travel product may want RwandAir in results next to Ethiopian and Kenya Airways. Through the IATA.co flights API, or in the booking portal, you search live fares and pay from a prepaid balance. RwandAir fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates. Whether bags or changes are included depends on the fare, and the rules are shown before you confirm.
RwandAir airline codes explained
RwandAir uses the two-letter IATA airline code WB and the three-letter ICAO code RWD. The IATA code WB is the one shown on tickets, fare displays and booking screens, while the ICAO code RWD is used in air traffic control and flight planning.
RwandAir is a full-service carrier, based in Rwanda, operating mainly from Kigali (KGL). It is not part of a global airline alliance.
Booking RwandAir fares as a travel agent
Travel agents book RwandAir fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live WB fares in the booking portal: the price, baggage and fare rules are shown with each offer before you confirm, and the amount is deducted from your balance. RwandAir results appear whenever our flight suppliers return them for your route and dates, so what you can book follows live supplier content rather than a direct airline deal.
Search RwandAir (WB) through the flights API
Developers and agencies can run the same RwandAir search from their own site, app or back office through the IATA.co flights API. Filter a search by the carrier code WB and read the fares back as JSON, then book from the same prepaid balance. See the flights API and the API docs for the full reference.
