Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) has granted Ethiopian Airlines permission to operate 24 chartered flights during Valentine’s Day estimated to earn the carrier Sh610 million, amid opposition from some cargo operators who have termed the move unfair.
The Ethiopian carrier will operate ad-hoc flights, allowing it to run direct flights between Nairobi-Europe and Asia without having to fly back to its base in Addis Ababa as is the case with scheduled ones.
