Rwanda successfully completed its demonstration of Africa's first self-flying air taxi on September 4, 2025. The event, which took place at the Aviation Africa 2025 Summit in Kigali, has now positioned the country as a forward-thinking leader in advanced air mobility.
The demonstration of this new technology was undertaken together with the China Road And Bridge Corporation CRBC, which is a partner in the long-term project to ease mobility across the country.
Rwanda now joins other countries that are also test-driving electric self-flying air taxis, including China, Germany, The Dominican Republic, Israel and the US.
