Brussels Airlines will relaunch direct services between Brussels and Nairobi in six months. Operating six flights per week during the summer, this resumption of services between the two destinations marks a significant milestone in the air travel history between the two nations, Kenyan Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen said recently.
Murkomen confirmed that Brussels Airlines is poised to resume direct flights to Nairobi on June 3. The airline already announced this reconnection in September, and it comes after a hiatus since 2015, signifying a renewed and strengthened partnership between Belgium and Kenya.
