Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>After a two-year hiatus, a Germany international charter airline, Condor on Saturday returned back to the coastal city of Mombasa.<\/p>\n

Condor stopped flying to Kenya in March 2020 after the outbreak of Covid-19 in the country.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the flight made its maiden nine-hour trip from Frankfurt, Germany, through Zanzibar in Tanzania, before landing in Moi International Airport, Mombasa.<\/p>\n

The plane had 88 tourists on board, after 122 others disembarked in Zanzibar.<\/p>\n

Tourism stakeholders at the Kenyan Coast are optimistic that the return of Condor charter to Kenya will open up the region for more tourists from Europe.<\/p>\n

Severin Sea Lodge General Manager Tuva Mwahunga, where some of the tourists spent their night, said historically Condor airline has been a \u201cgood boost for the tourism business in Mombasa.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Condor crew have always been staying here at Severin Sea Lodge,\u201d said Mwahunga.<\/p>\n

Since the Covid-19 outbreak in Kenya, the charter airline has not been able to plan its flight to the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, five months ago, they confirmed that Condor would be coming back, so we started preparing for their arrival. It was great news to welcome back Condor,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mombasa is also receiving Eurowings Discover, a scheduled leisure airline within the Lufthansa Group, from Germany. It operates twice a week.<\/p>\n

Mwahunga said with Condor and Eurowings, most tourists from Germany now have an option to either take a scheduled flight or charter flight.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are happy, not only for Mombasa, but the entire Safari circuit. Most of these tourists come to Mombasa and go for Safaris in various parks within Kenya,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Condor airline pilot Captain Alfred Kohler told journalists he is particularly happy to have flown back to Kenya after two years.<\/p>\n

Kohler, who brags of 17,000 flight hours, described Kenyans as, \u201cgentle people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The whole of last year, Mombasa used to receive charter flights from Eastern European markets, however, after the outbreak of the Russia- Ukraine war in February this year, the flights stopped.<\/p>\n

Mombasa used to receive charters from Romanian and Ukraine.<\/p>\n

In April, May, September and December last year, Mombasa received several direct charter flights from Kiev, Ukraine. Kenya received at least 10 charter flights from September to December.<\/p>\n

End\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n
