Kenya Airways has upped frequency of its flights to India from three times a week to daily, effective today (March 28).
The carrier said it would add more flights from April 17, bringing the total to ten flights a week.
The carrier upped the frequency after India lifted restrictions limiting the number of flights to only three times a week under the ‘air bubble’ agreement.
From today, all flights will depart Nairobi at 20h50 and arrive in Mumbai at 05h35 the next day. Return flights will depart Mumbai at 02h25 and arrive in Nairobi at 06h10.
The airline hopes to tap into the opportunity offered by the return to air travel as the aviation industry recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. The government of Kenya recently waived PCR test requirements for visitors holding a valid COVID-19 vaccination certificate, which is expected to ease travel to the country.
