A host of major international airlines are preparing to resume operations in and out of Nairobi in August, four months after Kenya suspended all flights to curb the spread of COVID-19 virus.
While British Airways says it will operate 4 weekly flights, being on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Qatar Airways says it will resume operations with 14 weekly flights, which are subject to regulatory approval.
Air France to start with one flight to Paris, every Friday, while KLM will begin with 4 flights.
Health and safety remain the government's topmost priority, amid the gradual opening of the country's economy. Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala said.
The return to the skies by these airlines comes barely ten days after domestic flights resumed operations.
National Carrier Kenya Airways and its subsidiary Jambojet are among airlines that are already operating domestic flights.
The resumption comes even as several measures have been put in place at the Jomo Kenyatta Airport to ensure safety against the deadly virus.
Passengers will always be required to sanitize their hands several times as well as wearing masks.
In addition to that, they will be required to pass through temperature screening points to ensure safety.
