Etihad Airways will double its Abu Dhabi–Nairobi flights from December 2025, introducing twice-daily service to support rising travel demand. The move strengthens tourism, trade, and cultural ties between Kenya and the UAE while offering smoother connections for leisure and business travelers. Backed by the Kenya Association of Travel Agents (KATA), the expansion is set to boost tourism, hospitality, and investment, positioning Kenya as a stronger destination for Middle East visitors.
