Kenyans stranded in the United Kingdom are set to get a second chance to return home after another flight was announced.
In a communique dated Tuesday, May 12, the Kenyan High Commission in the UK announced that a second flight from London has been availed to take off on Friday, May 15.
The Kenya Airways flight was arranged through discussions between the governments of Kenya and the United Kingdom.
Kenyans in the UK wishing to travel back home will need to book their flights via the Kenya Airways booking system on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Those planning to purchase tickets for the business-class will part with Ksh281,693 and Economy class tickets will be available at Ksh101,427 per seat.
Certain important requirements have been announced for those wishing to travel to Kenya in line with the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
Passengers will be required to undertake Covid-19 tests from any accredited laboratory and certification issued at least seven days before travel.
"The Kenyan High Commission in London, Kenya Airways or your local General Practitioner (GP) may advise on options for test labs," the statement reads in part.
Travellers will also complete a Coronavirus Quarantine Declaration Form. The completed form will be returned to a UK medical address by May 14, 2020.
All Kenyans arriving in the country will be quarantined as required by the Ministry of Health guidelines.
Another important notice announced is that the passengers who will have travelled will bear the costs of quarantine once they arrive in Kenya.
This will be the second flight from the UK to bring Kenyans home following the special commercial flight that repatriated stranded Kenyans on Monday, May 4.
