Statement On Kenya Airways Flights To The United States Of America.

The order is part of the process to commence flights to the US which is still ongoing. The recent approval grants the airline permission to fly both passengers and cargo and is part the many approval stages that are expected to be concluded soon.

"This approval by the DOT has been achieved thanks to the hard work of great individuals within all the departments of KQ. I am confident that our team will complete the next milestones with the same success and allow us to operate non-stop flights to the US in 2018", said Kenya Airways Commercial Director Vincent Coste.

Kenya Airways is working with both the Kenyan Ministry of Transport and the US Department authorities to ensure all requirements are met.
