The airline failed to resolve a passenger's baggage complaint within the required timeframe, leading to the sanction. The NCAA spokesperson, Michael Achimugu, announced the decision on his personal X handle. RwandAir will also replace the damaged baggage and pay $170 as first-need compensation, as per Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023. The regulator emphasizes the importance of addressing passengers' complaints promptly. The NCAA has previously sanctioned both domestic and international carriers for similar violations. In February 2025, five domestic airlines, including RwandAir, faced penalties for various infractions.",
