Kenya Airways has added three flights to Eldoret to meet the high demand of passengers flying to the area.

The new development brings the total to 14 flights weekly, as the airline works on the strategy to expand its footprint across the country

and tap on the growing demand for domestic flights.

The new flights on Mondays, Tuesday and Sundays will start operating in the area from June 2 this year, effectively operating double daily flights to Eldoret.

Titus Naikuni, who is the airline’s chief executive officer said the additional frequencies to Eldoret will offer solution to the increased passenger traffic witnessed by tourists visiting the area during the summer season and on holidays

“This aligns well with our drive to increase our presence in both the domestic and international routes to meet growing demand for air transport services. For Eldoret, this is really important in opening up the North Rift region to tourism,” said Mr Naikuni in a statement
Kenya Airways announced the introduction of daily flights to Eldoret last year to capitalise on the increasing number of visitors and investors visiting the Eldoret town. Eldoret is a business hub and is mostly known for producing top-notch athletes.
