Weeks Gone, Still No Kenya Airways Flights to Tanzania

More than 19 days since Kenya announced it had struck a deal with Dar es Salaam over the resumption of Kenya Airways flights not much has happened and there are no KQ flights to Tanzania as yet. Kenya Civil Aviation Authority Director-General Gilbert Kibe has said they are waiting for a word from Dar es Salaam, but expressed optimism that the outcome will be positive. At the beginning of August, the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority had announced that it had cancelled the licence for Kenya's national carrier, KQ, to operate flights to Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar. This was in retaliation to an earlier move by Kenya to leave Tanzania out of a list of countries allowed to fly into as a measure to fight Covid-19 pandemic.
