UAE national carrier Etihad Airways will resume flights to Nairobi, Kenya this year. Starting December 15, 2024, the Abu Dhabi-based airline will operate four weekly nonstop flights between Abu Dhabi Zayed International Airport (AUH) and Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO).
The flights will depart Abu Dhabi at 9:15 AM on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, arriving in Nairobi at 1:40 PM (local time). Return flights will leave Nairobi at 6:20 PM, arriving back in the UAE capital at 12:20 AM.
Located in East Africa, Kenya is renowned for famous attractions including the Maasai Mara National Reserve, 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.
