RwandAir has been named the Best Regional Airline in Africa at the prestigious 2025 World Airline Awards, dubbed the Oscars of the aviation industry.
This award reflects RwandAir’s central role in bringing African countries closer while connecting the continent to the world. As one of Africa’s fastest growing and most ambitious carriers, RwandAir continues to gain global recognition for its high service standards and reliability.
The awards were hosted by Skytrax at the iconic National Air and Space Museum during the Paris Air Show.
Yvonne Makolo, CEO of RwandAir, said: “This award is a powerful recognition of our dedicated team and the high level of service they give to our passengers every day. It reflects our mission to not only be a leader in regional aviation but to connect Africa to the world with ambition and world-class African hospitality. As an airline, we are transforming African aviation into a new era of growth, opportunity, and innovation.”
Edward Plaisted, CEO of Skytrax, said: “RwandAir continues to distinguish itself through a clear focus on service attention, and we congratulate them on winning this award as the Best Regional Airline in Africa at the 2025 World Airline Awards. The airline has created an experience that stands out in its category – professional, considered, and personal as it continues to evolve its regional product with confidence.”
The World Airline Awards were introduced in 1999 to provide a customer satisfaction study that is truly global. Travellers across the world vote in the largest airline passenger satisfaction survey to determine the award winners.
The online survey was carried out from September 2024 to May 2025, with more than 100 customer nationalities participating and 22.3 million eligible entries counted in the results. All survey entries were screened to identify IP and user information, with duplicate, suspect and ineligible entries deleted. Over 325 airlines featured in the survey results.
