Airline capacity will not be reduced to factor in social distancing rules when both domestic and international flights resume, Transport CS James Macharia has said.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Macharia said that if airlines carry less than 75 per cent of the passengers they will go at a loss.
“…but these passengers must go with Covid-19 free certificate. I would expect that if you are flying out, it would be prudent for you to be tested because you may not be allowed into other countries,” he said.
Macharia said those whose flights will be scheduled at night should not fear getting caught up in the curfew as an exception will be made.
“If you are flying at night and you show the boarding pass, you will be allowed to go to the airport with your driver,” he said.
The CS, however, discouraged travellers from having many people escorting them to the airport.
There will also be no mandatory quarantine for passengers arriving in Kenya from other countries if they do not exhibit coronavirus symptoms, he said.
