Carriers such as Kenya Airways and Emirates Airline face pressure for refunds after Dubai extended a ban on all passenger arrivals from Nairobi amid a surge in Covid-19 infections.

The Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) yesterday said the ban on flights from Kenya would stay until December 24. Dubai had earlier this week announced a 48-hour temporary suspension on all flights from Kenya to Dubai on December 20.
