KENYA’S ELECTION TIME TABLE CAUSES NEXT AVIATION AUDIT TO BE POSTPONED

(Posted 24th May 2017)



Regular aviation sources based in Nairobi have suggested that the US’ Transportation Security Administration has apparently decided to push their audit of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to beyond the Kenyan elections, which are slated for 08th of August this year.

Initially scheduled for June this year will the campaign activity no doubt impact on the availability of key individuals in Kenya and while no new date has been set as yet for the required audit – which outcome will determine if Kenya Airways can get landing rights for US airports – is there some indication that a new audit date will be scheduled soon early in Q4 of this year.

This dashes hopes for an early commencement of flights by Kenya Airways to the US which over enthusiastic individuals projected prematurely to take place before the end of the year. However, Kenya Airways’ aircraft availability is also an issue as all of their Boeing B787’s are presently committed around the clock to serve other key destinations in Africa, Europe, the Gulf, India and Asia with two of these birds on a three year lease with Oman Air since March 2016.
It is therefore anticipated that direct flights between the US and Kenya will initially be operated by KQ’s SkyTeam partner Delta under a codeshare arrangement.

Not in June anymore and if u nyang'aus resort into PEV then more delays!
One thing should be clear to you , no matter what, be it two years, Kenya is at the verge of Direct flights to USA.

Another thing, Kenya is not only targeting the USA for direct flights! 60 destinations around the globe with large market opening are scheduled for in the coming year! USA is just one of them, and if they delay, we start with Russia and add more direct flights to China, to add on the current routes.

Kenyans Vichwa maji, crazy people who can never stop until they achieve

Geza, I think when he said your title was misleading he meant that you indicated "No direct flights" na il hali article yako yasema "postphoned".... na hata ww mwenye umejibu ukasema "not in June anymore" so a later time.
 
Geza Ulole, your title implies that NO DIRECT FLIGHTS would be permitted to and fro Kenya and the US, yet it is just a postponement of the safety auditing, till after the elections.
 
Let this idiot Geza enjoy himself to the fullest....besides, it is just a delay of few months...elections acome and go...afadhali sisi we are already there, wengine hata bado ni ndoto...

it was a stunt to bring Kenyans here like flies in a latrine and anger them...but it is a failed stunt because as I can see, the Nyangaus are relaxed...hawana shida yoyote na hii delay...

That title is acceptable since no definite date has been chosen to replace the anticipated June date! idiots stop feeling bitter! If u fools fight in the August elections then the title will change to "No more direct flights to the US from Kenya".
