Capabilities

Everything you need from RwandAir — nothing you don't

Our pipeline handles the complexities of airline booking engines: session token management, multi-step search flows, dynamic pricing grids, and currency normalisation.

Full Schedule Extraction

Extract flight numbers, departure/arrival times, aircraft types, and stopover information for the entire RwandAir network.

Dynamic Fare Tracking

Capture pricing across Economy, Premium Economy, and Business classes. Track price fluctuations across multiple departure dates.

Multi-Currency Support

Extract native pricing in RWF, USD, GBP, EUR, and other local currencies, normalising to your preferred base currency.

Connection Mapping

Map complex itineraries through the Kigali hub, calculating total layover times and multi-leg pricing.

Fare Rule Mining

Extract cancellation policies, change fees, and refundability rules associated with specific fare basis codes.

Seat Availability

Monitor remaining seat counts per cabin class to estimate flight load factors and booking velocity.

Dream Miles Integration

Extract frequent flyer redemption requirements, tracking the miles needed for specific routes and dates.

Ancillary Pricing

Capture data on checked baggage allowances, excess weight fees, and seat selection costs.

Scheduled & Streaming Modes

Run one-off network exports or configure continuous pipelines at hourly or daily cadences with change-detection diffing.

Under the hood

How our RwandAir pipeline handles the hard parts

Airline booking engines are designed to block automated queries. Here is how we maintain reliable extraction.

Anti-bot layer
Residential proxy rotation + fingerprint spoofing

Airlines use strict WAFs. Our crawlers use residential ISP proxies with realistic browser fingerprints and full cookie session management, trained on real user booking behaviour.

Session management
Multi-step search flows

Flight searches require complex cookie chains and token exchanges. We maintain session state across the entire search and pricing flow to access final fare grids.

Dynamic rendering
Full Playwright execution

RwandAir's booking engine uses heavy JavaScript for pricing grids. We run full browser sessions to trigger lazy-loading and hydrate price widgets.

Multi-currency normalisation
Standardised financial data

Airlines price in local currencies based on origin. We extract the native currency and apply consistent normalisation mapping for downstream analysis.

Change detection
Only re-scrape what's changed

For large route networks, we maintain a hash index of last-seen values. Subsequent runs only push diffs, reducing compute cost and downstream processing load.

Applications

Who uses RwandAir data — and how

Teams across industries use rwandair.com data to build competitive products and smarter operations.

01
OTA & Metasearch Aggregation

Feed accurate RwandAir pricing and availability data into flight aggregators and online travel agencies.

02
Competitor Price Intelligence

Other African and international carriers monitor Kigali routes to adjust their own pricing and capacity.

03
Route Profitability Analysis

Aviation analysts track flight frequencies, aircraft deployment, and estimated load factors to model route profitability.

04
Travel Management Companies

Corporate booking tools require direct fare access and rule extraction to enforce corporate travel policies.

05
Disruption Management

Track schedule changes, delays, and cancellations to inform passengers and adjust downstream logistics.

06
Loyalty Program Tracking

Monitor Dream Miles redemption rates and availability to analyse loyalty program valuation.

Why DataFlirt

"RwandAir's expansion through the Kigali hub creates critical pricing data for African aviation — but extracting it requires navigating complex booking engine states."

Airline booking engines are notoriously difficult to scrape. They rely on strict session tokens, heavy JavaScript rendering, and aggressive bot mitigation. DataFlirt manages the entire extraction lifecycle, delivering clean, normalised flight and pricing data directly to your warehouse so your team can focus on analysis.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the RwandAir pipeline

Open-source tooling on proven cloud infra — no vendor lock-in, full observability.

ScrapyPlaywrightPython 3.12RedisPostgreSQLApache AirflowAWS LambdaS3CloudWatch2CaptchaCapSolverResidential ProxiesDockerKubernetesGrafanaPrometheusKafka
Scrapy + Playwright Stack

Scrapy handles crawl orchestration, deduplication, and retry logic. Playwright handles JavaScript rendering, cookie sessions, and interaction flows. Combined via scrapy-playwright middleware.

Residential Proxy Infrastructure

We maintain pools of residential ISP proxies across global regions. Rotation happens per-request with sticky sessions where required. IP score monitoring prevents blacklisted pool contamination.

Cloud-Native Orchestration

Pipelines run on AWS Lambda (burst) and ECS (sustained). Airflow handles scheduling, dependency management, and SLA alerting. All state stored in managed Postgres.

Common questions.

About rwandair.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping rwandair.com legal?

Scraping publicly available flight schedules and pricing is generally permissible for commercial use. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated data. We do not extract personal passenger data (PNR) or circumvent authentication walls.

How do you handle airline bot protection?

We use residential ISP proxies, full Playwright browser sessions with realistic fingerprints, and request timing modelled on human behaviour to bypass standard WAF protections.

Can you scrape multi-city itineraries?

Yes. We can configure the pipeline to query specific multi-city routes, extracting the combined pricing and distinct leg schedules.

How fresh is the pricing data?

Pipelines can be configured to run daily, hourly, or on a continuous streaming basis depending on your specific latency requirements and the size of the route list.

Do you extract tax breakdowns?

Yes. Where the booking engine exposes it, we extract the base fare, total taxes, and the final total price, along with the currency code.

What is the minimum viable engagement?

Our smallest packages start at a defined list of Origin-Destination pairs with daily delivery. For larger network tracking, we price based on volume and delivery frequency.

Can I request a sample dataset before committing?

Absolutely. We provide a sample run of up to 50 routes as part of the pre-engagement scoping process so you can validate schema fit and data quality.
