Despite some Judicial Affairs which hit Air Burundi during the last month (HERE and HERE), it' seems that the airline will probably resume flights, after 4 years of suspension.
In deed the airline has just opened a website in English. On its website, the airline offers special fares to Entebbe, Kigali and Nairobi. However, it's not possible to book a flight or even to click on various menus. But the airline can be contacted via an Email adress.
Is the airline starts to see the light at the end of the tunnel ? Wait and see..
