Srilankan airlines has started flight from Colombo to Nairobi, Kenya. Srilankan flies to Seychelles already so Nairobi is second African destination for the airline.
However, when I checked I noted the following
- Colombo to Nairobi return ticket costs about 85000 INR or 213000 LKR. Indians might be able to fly there cheaper via Kenya Airways flight to Mumbai
- I couldn't see connecting flights from India yet. There is India to Srilanka air bubble arrangement, but I guess that doesn't qualify Indians to use Colombo as transit and go elsewhere.
- Once regular commercial flights resume in India (don't know when), need to see how Kochi-Nairobi or Mumbai Nairobi fares look like. For Mumbai-Seychelles, Srilankan used to keep a competitive fare to match Air Seychelles.
I am yet to visit African continent. Don't know yet if 2021 will facilitate that.
