(Xinhua) Kenya Airways said Friday it will resume flights to Rome from its hub in Nairobi in June.

Julius Thairu, chief customer and commercial officer of the airline, said in a statement issued in Nairobi that Kenya Airways will continue to monitor and increase frequency to destinations as more jurisdictions open their airspace and ease travel restrictions.

Kenya Airways suspended its flights to Rome on April 30 last year after the Italian government placed the whole peninsula on lockdown to fight the spread of the COVID-19 disease.
