Kenya Airways to begin direct flights to USA in May

[MK254]

Flights from Nairobi to New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport will be launched in early May.

This is after Kenya Airways formally requested the US federal aviation department for a licence to fly directly to the US.

Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia told Saturday Nation that the application was presented at the US Embassy in Nairobi.

Kenya Airways aircraft and its crew will be rated and reviewed before the licence is issued.

“Getting Category One status was a milestone for Kenya since in Africa only South Africa, Senegal, Cape Verde and Ethiopia enjoy that status. Our inclusion means more business for airlines using the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport as a hub,” he said.

Mr Macharia said the flights would give Nairobi increased human and cargo traffic, fresh cut flowers and clothes for export from Kenya.

Kenya has been pushing for certification for direct flights for a while now.

Wakati wakenya wakionyesha umakini wa kusonga mbele, huku Tz kuna kiongozi mmoja mkuu kutwa anakesha kutafuta Umbeya tu(SHILAWADU) na kuishia kununua vindege vyenye mafua maarufu kama mabangaboi ili viwe na trip za kwenda kule kijijini kwake anapojenga kiwanja cha ndege.

kudos Kenya, my town my city my motherland
sitokuwacha kamwe ,wengi wamekuonea kinyongo usife moyo
we endelea ,hawajui pale umetoka ,hawajui yale umeona
wanajaribu kukuangusha lakini unarusha zaidi yao
unatamba mbele yao

watabaki pale pale kupigana na wewe wakidani watakuangusha
hawatoweza kamwe
am in love with you,love you so much Kenya .[HASHTAG]#blood[/HASHTAG]
