“We have reduced the number of flights on the Mombasa and Kisumu routes after the Easter demand. The additional flights were meant to cushion us during the peak season which has now come to an end,” said an official from Kenya Airways who cannot be quoted because he is not authorised to speak on behalf of the firm.
KQ, through low-cost subsidiary Jambojet, currently flies to Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu.
It also operates Eldoret, Malindi and Ukunda routes targeting businessmen and tourists.
Plans by KQ to reduce the number of flights on the Nairobi and Kisumu routes after the Easter season comes barely a few days after the National carrier resumed flights to Khartoum following a temporary suspension occasioned by political upheaval in the country.
Sudan’s military ousted Bashir after weeks of mass protests that climaxed in a sit-in outside the Defence Ministry compound.
Protests are continuing and their leaders say the unrest will not cease until the ruling Transitional Military Council (TMC) hands power to a civilian-led authority ahead of elections.
The Sudanese Professionals’ Association (SPA), leading the revolt, has called for sweeping change to end violent crackdowns on dissent, purge corruption and cronyism and ease an economic crisis that worsened during Bashir’s last years in power.
