Air Italy will introduce four weekly flights to Mombasa, Kenya, and also introduce flights to Zanzibar from the end of October.

The new direct flights to Mombasa and Zanzibar will be operated by an Airbus 330, with 24 seats in business class and 228 in economy. Kenya Tourism Board MD, Betty Radier, welcomed the news. “The number of passengers on an Air Italy flight will average between 150 and 190.”
