In August last year, Tanzania banned Kenya's national carrier deepening the row triggered by Tanzania's controversial handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

Tanzania said Kenya Airways flights were being banned "on a reciprocal basis" after Kenya decided against including Tanzania in a list of countries permitted to enter the country after flights resumed on 1 August following a lockdown to tame the pandemic.
