Kenya Airways Receives Air Traffic Rights for Direct US Flights

Chidozie Uzoezie

Kenyan national carrier, Kenya Airways has been granted air traffic rights to the United States airspaces, taking it a step closer to direct flights to the US, reports AllAfrica.com.

According to the report, Kenya's Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia told Capital FM Business the airline is now waiting for other crucial licenses to see it fly to the US by March 2018.

Among the crucial licenses include the Air Service License which gives it commercial approval and the Air Operating Certificate, which gives it technical authority to operate to the US.

The airline has to seek clearance from the US-Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) before commencing flights to America.

Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) attained "Category one" status on February 23, 2017, having met the mandatory status required by US authorities.

Under President Barrack Obama, trade and investments between Kenya and the US reportedly recorded remarkable growth, with net imports increasing by 206.4 per cent from the previous administration.

If and when all the necessary permissions and licences are granted, Kenya Airways hopes to launch the Kenya-US direct flights with its Boeing 787- Dreamliner fleet.

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.

Good location astounding but the staffs are rude and they make me wait so long for the service. They charge me more than what is on the website and did not refund me the manager is not helping with the issue

I am really tempted to book the next ethiopian airlines ticket and relive your journey. The pictures shared with the post also reflect that you truly enjoyed the travel. Great post! I also like the fact that you have covered nuances about the food and entertainment service through the pictures. It helps people know what to expect on their travel by this airline.
