National Carrier Kenya Airways is set to launch direct flights from Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to Somali capital Mogadishu on Thursday.
The carrier says the move follows increased demand on the route as it stretches its wings in a move expected to boost trade with the Horn of Africa nation.
“The addition of this route to our network demonstrates our commitment to improving connectivity on the African continent, while creating new opportunities for corporates, investors, traders and tourists”, said Kenya Airways CEO Sebastian Mikosz in a statement.
“We want to extend our network reach and make it convenient for our guests who work and invest in Somalia.”
The daily non-stop flight will leave JKIA at 07:40 am to arrive in Mogadishu at 9:55 am local time.
It will then depart Aden Adde International Airport, Mogadishu at 10:45am to arrive back in Nairobi at 1:00pm.
