Hi.
I love to read your blog about news in aviation of east africa. But these news about middle-east carriers connection options are really not news about africa anymore.
Well, as long as these airlines fly to Entebbe, or other East African destinations, such developments have a relevance to travelers from here, hence the chosen topics.
Thank you for reading my blog, much appreciated.
