The U.S. Embassy understands that the suspension of flights in and out of Kigali after March 20, 2020, will make it difficult for American citizens seeking to return to the United States. Airlines, including KLM, may be able to operate a very limited number of additional flights on an emergency basis. It is imperative that all potential travelers be in direct contact with airlines as soon as possible to determine their options. To help with contingency planning, we request that all American citizens in Rwanda who are still trying to return as soon as possible to the United States email ConsularKigali@state.gov with the full name of each member of your party and, if possible, a local telephone number. Please use the subject line – “American Citizen Traveler Information.”
