Kenya has suspended all inbound and transit passenger flights from the United Arabs Emirates, for seven days. The suspension is effective from Monday this week. Kenya Civil Aviation Authority says this was done to reciprocate a ban on Kenyan passenger flights to UAE. The ban will not affect cargo flights, which will continue with normal operations. KCAA director-general Gilbert Kibe says there was a scheme involving private medical testing centres colluding with travellers to issue fake Covid PCR results to aid their travel to Dubai.
