Qatar Airways Flights to Nairobi Continue Unaffected

Doha, August 08 (QNA) - Qatar Airways has not cancelled any flight and put in place plans to operate all scheduled flights to Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to and from Kilimanjaro International Airport in Tanzania. Ground transportation is being provided both ways between the two African nations airports, a notification issued by Qatar's national carrier said Thursday. "No flights have been cancelled, however passengers may experience some delays in schedule," a Qatar Airways advisory said today and told travellers to check with local Qatar Airways office for further information on changes or rescheduling tickets. A major fire Wednesday forced the shutdown of JKIA. Many flights at east Africa's busiest air transport hub were cancelled due to the incident. International flights have resumed from JKIA, Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) said. Departure and arrival of domestic flights resumed Wednesday night as well as cargo flights scheduled to depart today from JKIA will depart this evening. Security agencies have commenced investigations into the cause of the fire, KAA said. (QNA)
