Kenya Airways resumed flights to Tanzania on Monday after Dar es Salaam lifted the suspension of all Kenyan airline operators.
Allan Kilavuka, CEO of Kenya Airways, said the move follows a circular issued by the Tanzanian Civil Aviation Authority announcing the resumption and restoration of all flights by Kenyan operators with immediate effect.
“We are pleased to resume our services to Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar following this announcement by the government of Tanzania. Tanzania is critical to the economic growth of Kenya and East Africa and we look forward to our continued collaboration, ”Kilavuka said in a statement.
Kilavuka noted that Kenya Airways’ first flight to Dar es Salaam departed on Monday and the second will depart on Wednesday, and the Kenyan airline will operate two daily flights to Tanzania’s largest city thereafter.
Kilavuka said the first flight to Zanzibar will depart on Sept. 26 and then operate three times a week, while flights to Kilimanjaro International Airport will resume in October to target connectivity with the Nairobi-New York route.
The national flag carrier resumed domestic commercial flights on July 15 and international flights on August 1 after four months of suspended operations due to COVID-19 restrictions.
