Kenya Airways (KQ) has issued a caution to passengers traveling during the holiday season.
Allan Kilavuka, the Group Managing Director and CEO of KQ, revealed that some of the planes may face extended grounding for approximately two weeks due to challenges in procuring aircraft spare parts.
The MD stated on Friday that the airline is experiencing disruptions in the global supply chain for aircraft spare parts, leading to the need for increased maintenance ground time as a precautionary measure.
“Our current flight schedule may experience disruptions in the coming weeks mainly due to challenges in the aircraft spare parts global supply chain. These challenges are leading to extended ground time of our aircraft for maintenance,” Kilavuka said.
