Kenya Airways (KQ) is set to resume daily flights to Lamu this weekend after a three-week suspension.

Though the airline could not quantify its losses for the same period, its head of marketing and corporate communication, Michael Okwiri said the decision was sanctioned by Kenya Airports Authority and the KQ safety office, satisfied with the run-way repairs.

“The decision to resume services was made after an inspection team from both the Kenya Airports Authority and Kenya Airways which visited the site on Thursday last week,” said Mr Okwiri.

Kenya Airways now operates daily flights to Lamu using its 35-seater planes. The services were stopped on September 22nd in what airline CEO, Titus Naikuni , said was the unsafe condition for operations.

Mr Okwiri said beginning mid this month, the company’s 72-seater planes will provide additional capacity at peak periods on the Malindi route on Fridays and Sundays.
