According to a statement on the Emirates website, all air transport services to Dubai from Kenya will be temporarily suspended for 48 hours beginning December 20 due to directions from the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA).
The National Authority for Emergency, Crisis, and Disaster Management (NCEMA) and the General Civil Aviation Authority had announced additional travel criteria for passengers flying direct from Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, and Ethiopia earlier in December.
'As per directive from Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA), all air transport services with inbound and transit passenger movements to the emirate of Dubai from any point in the Republic of Kenya are temporarily suspended for 48 hours effective from December 20, 2021 at 10.30am (local time). Customers will not be accepted for travel on Emirates flights at Nairobi during this time. Outbound passenger operations from Dubai to Nairobi remain unaffected'
These include obtaining a negative Covid-19 test within 48 hours of departure and a Rapid-PCR test at the airport within six hours.
