Kenya Airways gets permit for direct US flights - Business Daily
US Department of Transportation now says that it has given KQ a foreign air carrier permit “to engage in: Scheduled and charter foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail from any point or points behind Kenya, via any point or points in Kenya and any intermediate points, to any point or points in the United States and beyond”.
Next hurdle is to get JKIA security-approved for flights to the US. Given that there are multiple direct flights to EU, including UK, that shouldn't be too hard.
Well done KQ! Maybe they can get the triple-7s back in the air!
