Etihad Airways has announced it is resuming flights to East Africa, with daily flights from Abu Dhabi to Nairobi.
The new route – which connects Kenya’s capital with Etihad’s growing global network – starts on May 1, 2024 and will help foster important cultural and economic ties between the UAE and the East African powerhouse.
Antonoaldo Neves, Etihad Airways Chief Executive, said: “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 travellers, 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 as well as offering them access to our growing global network.”
Etihad will operate daily flights to Nairobi, utilising a modern Airbus A320, featuring both Business and Economy cabins as well as the airline’s award-winning service.
