Thankfully, another airline offers a convenient online connection departing early tomorrow morning and arriving NBO in the early afternoon. The first flight to the connection point makes a single enroute stop, followed by a nonstop into Nairobi. It is the only airline offering an online connection where both flights are aboard vintage four engine jetliners of the same type. As an added bonus, First Class is available on both flights. Airline, routing and equipment please
It's not Saudia or Sudan Airways, but it is a 707. The intermediate stop is in the country of the national airline involved.
40- the only other country on a reasonably direct route between AUH and NBO with two sizeable enough cities for international jet service appears to be Ethiopia … geography says the enroute stop was Asmara and the connection was at Addis Ababa

37- this is probably way off base for the airlines and equipment, but the routing seems very reasonable; I’ll offer that we’re looking at SAS to Los Angeles/LAX on a 767-300, thence Air France with a 747 to PPT
