Kenya Airways Announces Flight Interruptions For Two Weeks Over Spare Parts Challenge
Travelers flying with Kenyan Airways during this festive period might experience flight disruptions lasting approximately two weeks.
On Friday, the company declared that certain planes might be unable to fly for a while due to difficulties in obtaining spare parts for their aircraft.
Allan Kilavuka, the Managing Director and CEO of KQ Group, stated that, as a safety measure in response to the worldwide challenge, the airline would prolong the period during which flights remain grounded.
“Our current flight schedule may experience disruptions in the coming weeks mainly due to challenges in the aircraft spare parts global supply chain. These challenges are leading to extended ground time of our aircraft for maintenance,” Kilavuka said.
“Additionally, this may also lead to grounding one or more of our aircraft in line with our commitment to the highest level for safety and reliability of our operations.”
