As he announced a new flight to China (Nairobi – Dubai – Shanghai), Senegal (Dakar), and other countries by August, MD Titus Naikuni stated that Kenya Airways (KQ) would not be flying to Miami. They had received an invitation to fly there from the City of Miami, but after crunching their numbers, and looking at the competition, KQ concluded that it would not make financial sense to fly to the US at the present time.

Also, a KQ workers union (Kenya Aviation & Allied Worker’s Union) issued a 21-day strike notice to the airline. So it’s possible that some workers at the airline may go on strike in mid-April.
