This is a major feat in building back lost confidence in air travel. IATA’s latest poll showing growing confidence in a return to air travel also attests to these fears. In the short-term, the airline industry and its key stakeholders need to find an effective system that offers contactless tests and remotely distributes COVID-19 vaccination certificates. To further support full airline recovery, we need to find local solutions that will encourage Kenyans to start flying again. The vaccination exercise will open up Kenya as a regional air travel hub and that might bring extra cargo capacity to the East Africa region.
