Kenya Airways is planning to fly Nairobi-Mombasa flight twice a day when it resumes operations on Wednesday.
In a statement on Monday, the airline will also fly once daily to Kisumu as it continues to review the option of increasing frequencies as demand picks.
The revised calendar follows the lifting of the restriction of movement in and out of Nairobi and Mombasa counties by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Kenya’s economy, which is reeling from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The resumption of domestic flights will add to the revival of domestic tourism that has recorded an all-time low.
