Kenya Airways temporarily suspends flights to France & Netherlands
Kenya Airways has announced the temporary suspension of flights to some of its European routes during the entire month of February. The carrier says it will suspend services to France’s Charles de Gaulle Airport and the Netherlands Schipol Airport.
“The temporary suspension is due to new COVID-19 regulations in Europe which have resulted in depressed demand,” KQ said in a statement on Friday.
The airline expects to resume regular services to France on March 3, 2021 and to Netherlands on March 7.
KQ has continued to struggle in its international operations as the evolving COVID-19 pandemic continues to pin down passenger demand.
“Europe has been quite a struggle particularly Amsterdam and Paris as the market sees a resurgence of COVID-19. We have however seen high demand to China and India. We do however have a number of restrictions including the number of seats and flight frequencies which we can deploy to destinations such as India and Bangkok,” Kenya Airways Chief Executive Officer Allan Kilavuka told Citizen Digital in an interview last week.
