Kenya Airways has announced the resumption of flights to and from Dubai beginning May 14, 2026.

In a customer update issued on Wednesday, the national carrier said it will initially operate daily flights between Nairobi and Dubai, with plans to gradually introduce additional frequencies depending on passenger demand and operational requirements.

"We wish to inform our customers that flights to and from Dubai will resume on 14th May 2026. We will operate daily frequencies between Nairobi and Dubai, with additional frequencies to be introduced progressively in line with demand and operational requirements,” the statement read.

The airline added that the safety of passengers and crew remains its top priority as operations resume.

“The safety of our guests and crew remains our top priority, and we continue to work closely with the relevant authorities to ensure safe and seamless operations,” the statement said.

Dubai remains one of Kenya Airways’ busiest regional and international destinations, serving business travellers, tourists, cargo operators and Kenyans connecting to Asia, the Middle East and Europe through the Gulf hub.

The resumption is expected to provide relief to passengers who had been affected by the temporary interruption of services on the route.

The airline further encouraged travellers seeking bookings, inquiries or travel assistance to use its website, mobile application and customer support channels.
