Kenya Approves Resumption of Nairobi-Mogadishu Flights

(Bloomberg) --

Kenya will resume direct flights between its capital, Nairobi and Mogadishu in Somalia, the East African nation’s Civil Aviation Authority Director-General Gilbert Kibe said Friday.

Kenya had stopped the flights in May amid a dispute with Somalia over ownership of a territory off their Indian Ocean coastlines. Leaders of the neighboring nations met earlier this month and agreed to restore diplomatic relations.
