Lena Havia, Etihad’s Vice-President of Network and Scheduling, confirmed the news, stating, “We are pleased to resume flights between Abu Dhabi and Nairobi this winter. We are grateful to the Kenyan and UAE authorities for the authorization to resume flights and thank our passengers eager to use this popular route for their patience.”
The flights will depart Abu Dhabi at 9:15 am on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, arriving in Nairobi at 1:40 pm local time.
Return flights will depart Nairobi at 6:20 pm, arriving back in Abu Dhabi at 12:20 am.
