KQ has suspended flights between Kenya and UK effective April 9 at midnight until further notice.

The national carrier cited a government directive saying, “The suspension is due to the directive given by the Government of Kenya suspending all flights from the UK.”

In a press statement, Kenya Airways announced the addition of two more repatriation flights on 7 and 8 April, “due to increased demand for travel to the UK before the advisory takes effect on April 9.”

On Saturday, April 3 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a travel advisory for visitors coming into Kenya from the United Kingdom a day after the European country gave notice to travellers originating from Kenya.

On Saturday April 3, Kenya airways issued a statement saying that it had added two flights on April 4 and 8 to meet increased demand for travel to the UK before the European Country’s travel advisory takes effect on April 9.

“Due to the increased demand for travel to the UK before the advisory takes effect on April 9, we have added 2 new flights on April 4 and 8,” read the statement from KQ.

The UK will not accept foreign nationals travelling from or via Kenya to the UK, including transit passengers who might only pass through JKIA, Nairobi.
