Kenya Airways is developing its cargo division by deciding to acquire one freighter and plans to increase the freighter fleet as business demands, according to All Africa.
Speaking at the of the Africa Air Cargo Conference in Nairobi, the group managing director and CEO Titus Naikuni said that the airline was sourcing for a cargo freighter to be in service by next financial year, which starts in April 2011.
He said that the airline had noted rising demand for cargo services from customers and was keen to support the growth in intra-Africa cargo growth. "The freighter will be used for operations across Africa destinations," he said.
It is intended that the freighter will be available both to the wider Kenya Airways network as well as interline partners with regular intra-Africa traffic. He added that the freighter service would be complemented by capacity offered by wide-body aircraft already serving Lusaka, Lilongwe, Harare and Kinshasa routes.
