The announcement marks a significant development for both Etihad Airways and passengers seeking travel options between the United Arab Emirates and Kenya. The route's reinstatement is expected to bolster tourism, trade, and economic ties between the two countries. Lena Havia, Etihad's Vice President of Network and Scheduling, expressed the airline's enthusiasm for returning to Nairobi.
"We are delighted to resume flights between Abu Dhabi and Nairobi this winter," Havia stated. "We are grateful to the Kenyan and UAE authorities for their support in authorizing the resumption of flights and would like to thank our passengers for their patience and continued support." The decision to reintroduce the Nairobi route comes after a period of suspension, during which both Etihad Airways and the travel industry grappled with the challenges posed by the global pandemic.
The airline's return to Nairobi is a testament to its commitment to providing comprehensive connectivity and meeting the evolving travel demands of its customers. With the resumption of flights, passengers can look forward to experiencing Etihad Airways' renowned hospitality and world-class service as they journey between Abu Dhabi and Nairobi.
