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, Sudan Airways, Yemenia, Turkish THY, Egyptair, Libyan or Ethiopian, but it is a 707 operated by an African airline. The intermediate stop is in the country of the national airline involved and begins with "B"
I thought that Somali Airways had been mentioned. And it HAD been mentioned in passing - but then dismissed in favour of another answer. I should read closer.

So, Somali 707 (likely actually a 720B) operating Abu Dhabi-Berbera-Mogadishu, then Mogadishu-Nairobi, Their original one, in the fleet at the time, leased from our very own Tempair, in Windsor UK.
