RwandAir is 99% owned by the Government of Rwanda and became an official IATA member in May 2015. In addition to its own destination network, the airline enjoys a number of codeshare agreements with other African airlines including Air Uganda, Ethiopian Airlines, South African Airways and Proflight Zambia, as well as European airlines including Brussels Airlines and Turkish Airlines. These agreements provide organized flight scheduling for passengers in need of connecting flights during their travels to destinations beyond those offered by the company.

Online check-in is not currently available for RwandAir flights. Passengers should therefore ensure they arrive at the airport early to check in directly at the terminal. For international flights, it is recommended that passengers arrive 3 hours before the flight's scheduled departure time. For domestic flights this duration is 2 hours.

Check-in closes 1 hour prior to departure for international and domestic flights. In order to begin the check-in process, RwandAir passengers must be able to present their booking reference code as well as their photo identification at the check-in counter. Any baggage that passengers wish to check in should also be presented at the check-in terminal.

All items of hand luggage should be able to fit in the overhead lockers or beneath the seats on board the aircraft. All items of hand luggage will be weighed and measured before boarding.
