Kenya Airways has further strengthened its position as a leading African carrier with receipt of a third Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
The aircraft landed yesterday at the airline’s hub at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi at 1440 hours.
Kenya Airways’ Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Titus Naikuni said that delivery of the third B787 stamps its position in the African skies as the airline with the largest network in the continent, and the youngest and most modern fleet.
“The Dreamliner is our flagship aircraft. We are investing in this model as part of our fleet renewal programme, not only because of its advanced features but also the boost it gives to our long haul capability,” Dr Naikuni added.
The airline expects to take delivery of three more Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircrafts by the end of the year.
The B787 also offers passengers unparalleled on-board comfort with greatly reduced noise, higher ceilings, biggest windows in the sky, flat beds in the premier world cabin, smoother flight, lower cabin pressure, higher humidity levels and ambient mood lighting.
It also has spacious interior cabin design featuring larger overhead bins with custom-made seats in both Business and Economy class as well as Cleaner air continuously circulating through an advanced filtration system. –
