A relaxing beach break in Kenya’s second\u00a0city, Mombasa, has become even more accessible as Qatar Airways,\u00a0the national airline of the State of Qatar and one of the aviation industry\u2019s big success stories, has launched new direct flights to Mombasa via Doha, starting from 9 December 2018.<\/p>\n
