The Frankfurt-based airline already operates a direct flight
from Frankfurt to the Moi International Airport twice weekly on Monday
and Friday, terminating in Zanzibar. Government officials said the
additional flight will boost the Kenya’s tourism sector by opening up
the Coast.
“This is the beginning of a bright future as the
tourism sector once again begins to blossom. Mombasa is a competitive
tourist destination, and Moi International Airport provides an excellent
entry point for the coastal cities of Kenya and the East African
Region,” said the acting Moi International Airport manager Danson
Mwangi.
He spoke when the Kenya Airports Authority and the
Kenya Tourism Board welcomed the inaugural Condor Airline flight from
Munich. It had 100 on board.
Condor operates scheduled flights to leisure
destinations in the Mediterranean, Asia, Africa, North America, South
America and the Caribbean.
