Market Demand: Kenya Airways Increases Freighter Frequencies


Kenya Airways has announced an increase in its cargo capacity by doubling its freight frequencies to 7 destinations in Africa.


Kenya Airways Cargo will now deploy its Boeing 737-300F freighter two times weekly to Harare, Lusaka, Entebbe, Dar es Salaam, Juba, Bangui, and Lubumbashi. These destinations are some of the major markets feeding Kenya Airways' entire network.

The additional capacity resulting from the increased frequencies is an additional 60 metric tons per week.

Kenya Airways Director of Cargo, Dick Murianki, said, "We are pleased to announce the increased frequencies to seven destinations across Africa, as this will support our cargo customers in meeting theirfreight demands. We want to assure our markets of a reliable, timely, and convenient freighter service."

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