“Due to severe weather and ongoing flooding in the United Arab Emirates, which has led to operational challenges, Kenya Airways cancelled its flights and is monitoring the situation,” said Kenya Airways.
KQ apologised to passengers affected by the move, saying it is in close contact with the Dubai authorities to arrest the situation.
