Kenya Airways has announced it is going to start flying directly to New York from October.
The national carrier said it expected the flights between Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and New York’s JFK Airport to play a critical role in returning it to a profit-making territory, reports Kenya’s Standard Newspaper.
“This is a symbol of a comeback by Kenya Airways”, its chairman Michael Joseph is quoted as saying.
In November, Bloomberg news agency reported that the Kenyan government took over the airline, including its $405m (£300m) debt.
