Tanzania And Kenya Vow To Settle Flight Row

A short while ago, we reported on Tanzania's plan to ban flights from Nairobi to Dar es Salaam.

Around two-and-a-half hours after the Tanzanian Civil Aviation Authority made this announcement, the nation's foreign minister, January Makamba, said he and his Kenyan counterpart had "resolved to settle" the issue within three days.

In a co-ordinated social media post, Kenyan Foreign Minister Musalia Mudavadi said there should be "no cause for alarm".

"We have jointly agreed that our respective Civil Aviation Authorities will work together to have the matter resolved amicably within the next three days," he wrote.
