Etihad Airways to resume Nairobi flights
Etihad Airways will restart service between Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) and Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) next year.
The AUH-NBO route, exclusive to the UAE carrier, will be flown daily from May 1, 2024, with an Airbus A320. “The link will further stimulate cross-business and trade opportunities between the UAE and the growing Kenyan economy,” Etihad says in a statement. “The new route connects Kenya’s capital with Etihad’s growing global network, and will help foster important cultural and economic ties between the UAE and the East African powerhouse.”
Etihad CEO Antonoaldo Neves notes Nairobi is “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.”
