Dutch charter airline Tui has resumed operations in the East African region with a maiden flight to Zanzibar.

A Tui Boeing Dreamliner touched down at Moi International Airport (MIA) in Mombasa, Kenya, on Tuesday morning for the first time in six years, when the carrier suspended services following an upsurge of insecurity, exacerbated by the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak.
