Etihad recommences flights from UAE...

Bookings now open for Abu Dhabi-Nairobi flights resuming December

UAE national carrier Etihad Airways will resume flights to Nairobi, Kenya this year.

From 15 December 2024, the Abu Dhabi-based carrier will fly four times a week nonstop between Abu Dhabi Zayed International Airport (AUH) and Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO).

The flights will depart Abu Dhabi at 9:15am on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, arriving in Nairobi at 1:40pm (local time). Return flights will leave Nairobi at 6:20pm, arriving back in the UAE capital at 12:20am.

located in East Africa, Kenya is renowned for famous attractions including the Maasai Mara National Reserve, a vast savanna that's home to an incredible array of wildlife, including the 'Big Five' (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhinoceros). It's particularly famous for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras and other herbivores cross the Mara River in search of greener pastures, offering one of the most spectacular wildlife shows on Earth, which is a bucket-list travel experience for many.

Etihad’s Vice-President, Network and Scheduling, Lena Havia said: “We are pleased to resume flights between Abu Dhabi and Nairobi this winter.

"We are grateful to the Kenyan and UAE authorities for the authorisation to resume flights and thank our passengers eager to use this popular route for their patience.”
