The airline Emirates is launching a third daily flight between Dubai and Nairobi starting 1 March 2026, increasing its service to 21 flights per week on this route. The extra early-morning departure and arrival will improve connections for travellers heading to and from Europe, the US and regional African destinations via Nairobi. It also boosts cargo capacity by around 280 tonnes a week, helping both passenger travel and Kenya’s trade of perishable goods. The move builds on Emirates’ 30 years of operations in Kenya and supports the country’s goal of attracting five million international tourists by 2030.
