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.
Murkomen delved into the comprehensive economic impact anticipated from the resumption of direct flights. Beyond the convenience for travelers, this strategic move is projected to create a ripple effect in Kenya’s aviation sector and the broader economy. The resurrection of this air link is expected to generate a substantial number of direct and indirect jobs, providing a much-needed boost to employment opportunities.
