Kenya cleared for direct flights to the US after a decade
Federal Aviation Administration
Nairobi - Arab Today
The US Federal Aviation Administration says Kenya has complied with international safety standards and can have direct flights to the US after waiting for more than a decade.
The FAA in a statement Thursday said Kenya has received a category 1 rating under the agency’s International Aviation Safety Assessment Program. With that rating, Kenyan air carriers can establish services to the US.
Kenya’s Transport Minister James Macharia described the category 1 status as a major milestone in the country’s aviation industry. Kenya is East Africa’s largest economy.
Kenya transformed its main airport after a 2013 fire destroyed its international terminal because the airport had only one fire engine working. Some rescuers, including police, looted ATMs and forex bureaus instead of fighting the blaze.
