## Description

RwandAir links Kamembe Airport (KME) to the capital with near-daily service, making it the air gateway for Rwanda's southwestern Rusizi region near the Congolese city of Bukavu and the Burundian border. Passengers, not pure freight, define the traffic here; the airport runs no scheduled cargo operation. The area's exportable goods — notably tea from the surrounding plantations — travel by road to Kigali International (KGL) for onward air freight. For forwarders, KME is a feeder point best paired with Kigali's cargo facilities.
