Royal Air Burundi was an airline from Ruanda-Urundi and was based in Usumbura.

The airline was formed in 1962 to perform non-scheduled passenger flights utilising a Lockheed L.049 Constellation, which was obtained from Las Vegas Hacienda. The national airline of newly-independent Burundi made numerous passenger flights to Europe, and ceased operations at the end of 1963.[1][2]
