On the sidelines of Namibias president Inauguration
![]()
Developing story: After meeting at the sidelines of the inauguration of the new president of Namibia, the official Kenyan statehouse spokesman has announced that the Tanzanian president has ordered Tanzania's civil authority to allow Kenya Airways to resume its full schedule to Tanzania immediately.
While expressing his desire to solve the issue amicably, the Tanzanian president indicated that the reduction of flights had greatly restricted travel to Tanzania and that the economic ramifications were going to be felt by all the parties involved.
This comes after the Zanzibar tourism association read Dar es Salaam the riot act over the limitation of Kenya Airways flight to the island. Kenya Airways is the airline of choice for over 80% of visitors to Zanzibar.

Tanzania's tourist have also been allowed to resume normal operations to JKIA. However, Fastjet, the British owned low budget airline, will not be granted landing rights to JKIA.
Tanzania's and Kenya's foreign affairs ministers are set to hold a press conference over the resolution.
