The directive by Kenya to cut passenger flights between Nairobi and UK will have serious impact on the local aviation sector with the capacity of belly cargo expected to drop even as Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) is set to lose out on transit passengers risking its status as a regional hub.
Passenger flights account for 40 per cent of all the cargo transported by air and a decline in capacity signals high freight charges for importers.
