Kenya Airways will take delivery of its first Boeing 787 on April 4,
marking the first of six of the type to join its fleet in 2014.
Nairobi-based Kenya Airways said the new additions, which also include a
777-300ER slated for delivery in May, form a key part of its Project Mawingu
10-year growth strategy.
The aircraft will be used as part of a “deliberate effort” to step up Kenya
Airways’ long-haul capacity, allowing the carrier to increase its number of
direct flights, and add new destinations and frequencies.
“Routes to Paris, Amsterdam and Beijing are among the destinations
earmarked for direct flights, as we continue exploring new markets that will be
instrumental in helping us achieve our objective, to contribute toward the
sustainable development of Africa,” Kenya Airways CEO Titus Naikuni said.
Kenya Airways also recently confirmed plans to launch new budget carrier
Jambo Jet on April 1.
