Kigali International Airport (IATA: KGL, ICAO: HRYR), formerly known as Kanombe International Airport, is the primary international airport serving Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. Currently, there is an ongoing project to build another mega-airport in Bugesera District, Eastern Province, which will be the biggest and the main air gateway for all destinations in the country, in addition to serving as a transit airport for Goma and Bukavu in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. There are 4 airlines based in Kigali: RwandAir, the flag carrier airline of Rwanda; Akagera Aviation, a Rwandan heli-company;[2] Tempus Jet, an American airline providing charter flights;[3] and Nexus Aero, a Saudi VIP airline.[4]

In March 2019, the government confirmed that some works were temporarily put on hold in order for a redesign to take place.[15] The redesign will ensure that the airport is up to international standards.
