In addition to charter flights, the company has started to fly to the island of Inhaca in Maputo and plans to do so to Machangulo and Zongoene.[6] Kaya Airlines is currently on the List of air carriers banned in the European Union due to its safety issues, preventing it from flying new routes to the European Union.
