Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) has extended, for an additional 30 days, the suspension of flights to and from India to August 20, 2021.
This comes as a blow to Kenya Airways (KQ), which had planned to restart the Indian route’ one of the most lucrative destinations on its network, anticipating that the restriction imposed in April will be lifted.
Nevertheless, Kenyan citizens and Indians who are local residents are allowed to fly in on charter flights. They have to undergo a 14-day quarantine and present evidence of negative COVID-19 tests taken 96 hours before flying.
KQ suspended its flights to India in April this year following high coronavirus cases in that country that prompted KCAA to issue a notice banning flights to or from Nairobi to Mumbai.
Other countries that have banned flights to India include Bangladesh, the UK, Oman, and France.
