Tanzania Nationals Now Free From Mandatory Quarantine in Kenya
Tanzanian nationals will from now not be subjected to 14-day mandatory quarantine upon arrival in Kenya; this is after it was included on an updated list of countries released by the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority.
The list which now features 147 countries was a bond of contention for the two East African countries resulting into Tanzania banning Kenyan airlines from landing in the country on what authorities termed as reciprocal measures.
With Tanzania on the list it now means nationals of the EAC can travel freely to Kenya.
On the same day, the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) director general Hamza Johari confirmed to The Citizen that the regulator had seen the statement.
"We have just seen the statement. We are working on it before stating our position," Mr Johari responded to a question posed by The Citizen on Tanzania's position regarding the latest development.
Before the ban, AirKenya Express and Fly540 had each on the weekly basis seven flights to Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar respectively; Safarilink Aviation on the other hand had seven flights on each of its Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar routes.
