Plans to launch flights to Hargeisa, Somaliland are currently on hold pending requisite clearance and approvals, Kenya Airways has announced.
“We currently do not have any flights in operation, contrary to information circulating on social media,” Kenya Airways said in a statement.
This comes as the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority suspended all flights to and from Somalia in a notice to airmen.
In the notice, the Kenyan government did not give any reasons for the action.
The ban came days after Qatar brokered a breakthrough that saw Mogadishu restore diplomatic ties with Nairobi.
Somalia restored diplomatic relations with Kenya after five months following mediation by Qatar led by Emir Sheikh Tamim Al Thani.
