Rwandair, the national carrier, announced late last night that WB430/WB431 flights scheduled for Juba have been canceled for Friday, December 20, 2013, on account of the security situation in Juba.
Passengers with travel plans in the near future should contact the airline to obtain the latest flight status information for confirmation before making their way to the airport. Travelers are advised to monitor the airline website at www.rwandair.com to be updated on continued flight information.
“RwandAir treats the safety of its passengers and employees as its absolute top priority, and safety is never compromised under any circumstances. We will work to resume normal service and to accommodate our customers,” said Rwandair CEO John Mirenge.

While dozens of buses have been chartered by Kenya and Uganda to take their nationals out of South Sudan and bring them across the Ugandan border at Nimule to safety, foreign embassies have organized relief flights, including the German government which – according to information received – will send two German Air Force planes into Juba today to uplift their and other European Union nationals first to Entebbe before giving them the option to either stay there or return to Germany or their home countries. Kenya Airways, Fly 540 and Air Uganda were planning to fly today but have yet to confirm that they will actually do so, probably deciding on a case by case basis after getting the latest updates from their station managers in Juba. Much of yesterday was the airport out of service with a B737-500 stuck on the runway after the nose gear had collapsed, throwing a spanner in the works of evacuation flights since the airlines were unable to land and had to cancel or delay flights while the runway was blocked.

The airline will continue to assess the security situation on the ground.
