Two more regulatory hurdles stand in the path of a maiden direct flight from Kenya to the US, Kenya’s Transport Secretary James Macharia has said and expressed confidence in clearing them.
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) on September 5 granted national carrier, Kenya Airways a permit to operate passenger, mail and cargo flights directly to the US. Only months ago in February, the US gave the first approval for direct flights after the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) was granted Category One status by the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA).
