Direct flights from Kenya to US
"Kenya Airways will immediately apply for approval to codeshare with U.S. airlines while concurrently pursuing approval for direct flights," he told a news conference.
The government has a stake in flag carrier Kenya Airways and has recently finished building a new terminal and plans to spend more on Jomo Kenyatta International airport.
According to the Kenya Flower Council (KFC), this is good news for the horticulture industry at large. "Very hopeful the direct flight will be on by June 2017 to ship the #kenyaflowers to the International Floriculture Expo #IFE show at Chicago", they say on their Facebook page.
