Kenya Airways has announced the resumption of flights between Nairobi and Dubai, with operations set to restart today, May 14, 2026.
In an update issued by the airlines on May 13, 2026, the carrier confirmed that flights to and from Dubai will resume with daily frequencies between the two cities.
The airline stated that additional flight frequencies will be introduced progressively, depending on demand and operational requirements.
Daily Flights to Resume
According to the notice, Kenya Airways said the safety of its guests and crew remains its top priority as operations resume.
“The safety of our guests and crew remains our top priority, and we continue to work closely with the relevant authorities to ensure safe and seamless operations,” the airline said.
The resumption restores one of the airline’s key regional and international routes linking Kenya and the United Arab Emirates. Dubai remains an important destination for business travel, tourism, and cargo movement between East Africa and the Middle East.
Kenya Airways indicated that customers seeking bookings, enquiries, or travel assistance can access services through the airline’s website and the KQ Mobile App.
Passengers can also reach the airline’s Customer Excellence Team through its customer support numbers, including +254 711 024 747 and WhatsApp line +254 705 474 747.
The announcement comes as the national carrier continues efforts to maintain operational stability while rebuilding route consistency across its network.
Expansion to Depend on Demand
Kenya Airways did not indicate whether the resumed Dubai service will initially operate with any schedule adjustments beyond the confirmed daily frequencies.
However, the airline noted that future expansion on the route will depend on operational needs and customer demand.
The Dubai route is among the airline’s significant international connections and is expected to support passenger movement between Nairobi and the Gulf region as operations resumes.
