Three Kenyan airlines, Safarilink, AirKenya and Bluebird Aviation, plan to launch commercial and charter flights from Nairobi to the newly upgraded Arusha Airport in northern Tanzania, hoping to tap business from connectivity to the regional diplomatic hub.
The three carriers, which have largely operated domestic flights within Kenya, have applied to the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority to amend their licences to include new routes to Arusha from Nairobi’s two airports.
