Kenya’s Astral Aviation has announced the reintroduction of cargo flights between Sharjah in the UAE and Eldoret in Kenya.

The decision aims to enhance connectivity and facilitate efficient airfreight services between the two key locations.

The cargo airline's decision to resume flights between Sharjah and Eldoret comes as part of its ongoing efforts to expand its operational network and provide airfreight solutions.

The airline is set to play a crucial role in facilitating trade and logistics between the UAE and Kenya.

According to the latest information available, Astral Aviation will operate the flights using its diverse fleet of aircraft, including the Boeing 767-200F.
