Entitled to be ‘The Pride of Africa’, the Kenyan flag carrier has
proven to be one. The airline is one of the best to have emerged from this
continent and is known to flyers all around the world. Kenya Airways has
been immensely successful ever since its formation and has run as an
independent airline, representing Kenya all around the world.
Considering the African continent and its aviation scenario, the national
airline of Kenya
has been oft mentioned as one of the finest carriers. In addition to being a
popular African airline, it is also a member of the world’s second largest
airline alliance, SKYTEAM which is based at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and was
formed by Air France, Delta Air Lines, Aeroméxico and Korean Air.
Today, Kenya Airways is functioning as a privatized airline company
and was the first African aviation setup to have successful gone through this
process. Despite having been privatized and being shared by a number of
stakeholders, the airline is still partly shared by the Kenyan government and
this forms the second largest share of the company behind KLM, the flag carrier
of the Netherlands.
Other shareholders in the Kenyan flag carrier include Nairobi Stock Exchange,
Ugandan Securities Exchange and Dar-es-Salam Stock Exchange. The Tanzanian
carrier, Precision Air is a subsidiary of this airline and is owned 49% by it.
The world renowned Kenyan carrier flies to over 50 cities all across Asia,
Africa and Europe and is popular not only amongst the sophisticated African
travelers but also amongst European travelers flying to Africa Kenya Airways
Its European destinations include Athens, Bristol, Copenhagen, Frankfurt,
Istanbul, London, Paris, Rome, Stockholm and Zurich. In Asia, the airline
services the airports of Bangkok, Dubai, Guangzhou, Karachi, Mumbai and Muscat.
Inside Africa, the airline services many cities with some of the more popularly
traveled ones being Cairo, Johannesburg, Port Louis, Mahe, Lusaka, Luanda,
Libreville, Brazzaville, Kinshasa, Juba, Harare, Gaborone, Dar-es-Salam,
Djibouti, Antananarivo, Accra, Blantyre, Abidjan, Addis Ababa, Bamako, Cotonou,
Douala, Lilongwe, Lagos, Ouagadougou and Zanzibar.
Kenya Airways has
code share agreements with numerous African carriers such as Air Botswana, Air Mauritius, TAAG Angola Airlines and
LAM Mozambique Airlines and European carriers such as KLM, Air France and the
Russian carrier, Aeroflot. From Asia, the
Mumbai based Jet Airways and the Korean carrier; Korean Airways are two of the
alliances of Kenyan flag carrier. Having come a long way since its inception in
1977 and developed rapidly, the airline has truly proven that it is indeed, ’The
Pride of Africa’. At a glance, this may
sound like nothing but a caption which the owners found good enough to impress
people but on realizing the success story of the airline and seeing its growth
from a new emergence in 1977 to one o the world’s finest carriers today, one
would surely take it as a description for it. Kenya Flights carrier has won
several acclaims and awards and has remained the ‘African Airline of the Year’
seven times. This shows that the airline is truly one of the best, not only in Africa but elsewhere too and with little enhancement, can
be a strong competition for the current leaders in the aviation industry.
