Belgium's largest airline resumes Nairobi flights after 9 years

Brussels Airlines, Belgium's primary airline and the largest carrier of the country, has made a remarkable return to Nairobi, Kenya, after a hiatus of nine years. The airline, affiliated with the Lufthansa Group and Star Alliance, landed at Kenyatta International Airport on Monday night, carrying 288 passengers. The resumption of Brussels Airlines' flights to Nairobi is a significant development welcomed by Kenya's tourism sector. David Tanki, representing the Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) Board of Directors, expressed enthusiasm over this positive step. Tanki emphasised that the return of Brussels Airlines signifies the enduring appeal of Kenya as a tourist destination, particularly among Belgian and European travelers. He highlighted the importance of European travelers, noting their significant contribution to Kenya's tourism sector. Europe stands as the second-largest source market for Kenyan tourism, with Belgium alone contributing a growing number of arrivals each year.<br/>
