Philippine Airlines to Operate Temporary Tokyo/Narita–Cebu Flights Over New Year
Emirates has increased its Dubai–Nairobi service to three daily round trips from July 1.
The additional service had originally been planned to begin on March 1. A three-class Boeing 777-300ER aircraft is used.
By adding flights arriving in and departing from Nairobi early in the morning, Emirates is strengthening two-way connectivity with major European cities and the United States. In Nairobi, connections with Kenya Airways’ key routes have been optimized, enabling onward travel to destinations including Rwanda, Kilimanjaro, Mozambique, and Burundi.
Emirates began serving Nairobi in 1995. More than 6.6 million passengers have used the route to date, including visitors from South Korea, China, Thailand, and Australia. From Nairobi, flights to Shanghai, Beijing, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Seattle, New York, and Washington are said to be popular.
