Hello,

Can anyone shed some light if Kenya Airways is planning any major expansion with the B737?
Seems that they will hire foreign crews in the near future...

Major = don’t know.

Do know they’re looking for some 738NG’s (more precisely 738’s) – but this could be fleet renewal rather than expansion.

There will be 1 767-300ER in June and then 3 737-800s in Oct, Nov, and Dec. Once the -800s arrive, the 737-200s will be retired and the existing expat crew on the -200s will be moved up to fly the 737-300s with the Kenyan crew flying the -700s and the -800s. It is now understood that there will be no additional hiring of foreign crew
