Kenya Airways (KQ) has extended a freeze on a complimentary scheme that allows its staff to travel for free amid an investigation into abuse of the initiative.
The scheme called buddy pass entitles the airline’s employees to two free flights a year, each accompanied by up to four other passengers. It allows staff to nominate family and friends within specified limits and clear accompanying rules. The scheme has, however, been abused by some KQ employees prompting the airline to suspend it in April pending investigations that were initially scheduled to end on May 17.
