Kenya Airways (KQ) is planning to resume commercial passenger flights to Djibouti, ending a two-year hiatus that saw the carrier drop operations on the destination when it resumed international flights in August 2020.
President William Ruto has said talks are advanced with Djibouti President Ismail Omar that could see Kenya’s national carrier resume flights to that country.
However, details on the frequency of the flight, ticket charges as well as the timing of the KQ flight to Djibouti remain unclear.
Djibouti is among the eight African countries that KQ dropped when it resumed flights in August 2020 after easing of COVID-19 restrictions. The other routes included Angola, Mali, the Republic of Congo, Somalia, Sudan, Mozambique and Malawi.
“Met Djibouti President Ismail Omar in Washington, D.C, United States of America; talks centred on the entry of Kenya Airways to Djibouti and the lifting of visa requirements for citizens of the two countries,” said Dr Ruto about talks with President Omar on the sidelines of the US-Africa Summit last week.
