Etihad Airways has announced that it will resume flights to East Africa, with daily flights to Nairobi set to start on May 1.

Etihad Airways Chief Executive Officer(CEO) Antonoaldo Neves said the new route will help foster important cultural and economic ties between the UAE and the East African powerhouse.

“We are thrilled to be re-starting flights to Nairobi, a dynamic and exciting city in itself and also the gateway to a Kenyan safari, a dream adventure for many travelers, offering a view of the diverse and magnificent wildlife of Africa.”

“Equally, we will be delighted to welcome guests from Kenya to our extraordinary home and offer them access to our growing global network,” he said.

Further, he said the flights will restore commercial non-stop passenger connections between the two cities, and guests from Kenya can connect with Etihad flights to the GCC, the US, Europe, India, and South-East Asia.
