Verified 30 July 2026
RwandAir is the national carrier of Rwanda, operating a mixed Airbus and Boeing fleet from its Kigali hub to destinations across Africa, Europe, and Asia. The airline hires direct-entry first officers against stated hour and licence minimums, and separately runs a Rwandan-citizen-only ab-initio cadet pilot programme.
Applications are made on RwandAir's own site. SkyStudy never collects an application, a document or a fee.
What the operator asks for
Only what RwandAir states publicly. "Not stated" means the operator does not publish that figure, not that there is no requirement, and never that the requirement is zero.
Any age, nationality, residency, height or vision criterion above is the operator's own stated criterion, quoted from its own page. Some such criteria are lawful where an operator recruits and unlawful elsewhere, including in the EU. SkyStudy reports them factually and does not adopt them as requirements of its own.
Every published profile is checked by hand against the operator's own careers page, and is flagged for a recheck 180 days after that check. Requirements change without notice, so confirm every figure on the operator's own careers page before you apply.
Contract type: Not stated. Do not assume direct employment; some operators contract through an agency or on a self-employed basis, which changes tax, sick pay and pension entirely.
Pay: Not stated on the operator's own page.
For what pilots earn by region and seat, with its own sources and dates, see the pilot salary guide. Those are market ranges, not an offer from this operator.
