Emirates has announced that it will introduce a third daily flight between Dubai and Nairobi as of June 1, 2017.

The additional flight will increase the number of scheduled Emirates flights between the two cities to 21 a week. It also underscores Emirates’ commitment to Kenya and confidence in the route, the carrier said, which has grown to become one of the airline’s busiest routes in Africa since it first launched services to the country in October 1995.
