2017 for Kenya Airways
2017 could be the year Kenya Airways start showing some "pride of Africa" glory. However it all depends on who will be the new CEO, HR Director and Director of Flights operations and Director of corporate quality plus the other managerial positions to be filled in.
The HR Director and Director of Flights operations positions are vital as these will see the start of hiring pilots especially on the narrow bodies aircraft were they are currently having a huge shortage of pilots with more and more pilots leaving every month heading Middle East.
Also towards end of 2017 to mid 2018 or even earlier all the "wet leased" aircraft's could potentially be returning back to Kenya Airways Hangers due to the carrier starting to fly to North and South America. The Last FAA JKIA safety audit come out with nothing outstanding.
All in All the local pilots should have something to look forward to in 2017 with increased employment all round the region.
