The Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) has welcomed German airline Lufthansa's decision to launch flights to Nairobi after almost 16 years, saying the move will boost recovery of the tourism sector. Lufthansa last served the Frankfurt–Nairobi route in March 1999, with three weekly Airbus A310 flights.
From October 27, 2105, the airline will fly four times a week to Nairobi from Frankfurt, Germany, on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
