Women hold relatively few senior positions in the air transport industry. However, Captain Irene Mutungi has been proving herself as an aviation pioneer, becoming the first female pilot for Kenya Airways in 1995 and now becoming the first African woman to fly as a captain aboard a 787 aircraft.

Day 123 – Back to Nairobi

We woke up early this morning as Concierge told us to try and start sorting out our flights at 8:30am, when the Kenya Airways guy would be in the Zanzibar office. S protested and said the guy would not be in by 9am. Sure enough, he wasn’t in until 9am. However, he turned out to be surprisingly helpful. He even exchanged Whatsapp details with J so we could have an open line of communication. He gave us an option to leave today at 5pm on a different airline to Nairobi, spend 22 hours in Nairobi and leave on our previously scheduled flight to Cape Town. This did not sound all that pleasant. Nairobi is having a surge in COVID, has shut down all domestic flights and this seemed to S to be a bit risky. Our only other option was the 4-stop flight on Ethiopian.

After weighing the options, we decided to roll the dice and spend 22 hours in Nairobi. We rebooked the flights, organised transit e-visas, organised our old friend, the Tamarind Tree hotel, where we previously stayed twice on this trip, and completed health declarations. We also identified a back-up plan in case the Nairobi to Cape Town flight doesn’t work.

We ordered in room service, which was fine, and packed. Dulla picked us up as planned and we headed to the airport. We joined the scrum in front of international departures and were ushered to the front of the queue and let in through a VIP line. We don’t know why. Most everyone else was Russian. We were flying Precision Air, which has no lounge, so we had to sit with all the Russians. The departures area was so packed, people were sitting next to one another and standing around. There was no social distancing, or even the possibility of social distancing and none of the Russians were wearing masks. Buying drinks at the only food counter was quite an experience as we had to fight through another scrum. Queuing is a word that does not appear to exist in the Russian language.

We almost missed our flight as there was a large group of Russians pre-queuing for a different Precision Air flight, which J mistook for our boarding queue. Thankfully, driven by a suspicion honed by millions of miles of travel, S went to the front of the queue and realised the flight was mostly boarded and these people were just standing around in front of a gate. S screamed for J to get to the gate, while they held the door.

We got on a shuttle bus that took us to our plane. The plane was a seemingly new ATR turbo prop. It was a short flight to Nairobi and pretty smooth. Surprisingly, there was even some cabin service, but no cold beer. Cashews seem to be plentiful here.

The Nairobi arrivals procedures were pretty smooth for us, but not for those people who did not complete their health forms and get their QR codes. By the time we got to baggage claim, S was again suspicious as J said the bags were coming out on carousel B, which was empty and not moving. S asked her to check carousel A, because he thought he saw one of our bags. Sure enough, there they were.

We were picked up by the hotel transport. That was much less smooth as the 20-minute trip took an hour due to heavy traffic. There was no AC and we couldn’t open the windows due to the amount of diesel fumes being produced by vehicles that wouldn’t pass US or UK emissions standards. The heavy traffic was due to the fact that everyone was trying to get home by 8pm to comply with curfew laws. Hotel check-in was smooth and they remembered us from our prior two stays on this trip. We stayed in a different room, which had the exact same layout as the prior two rooms. We were both exhausted so we tried to go to sleep. Emphasis on the word ‘try’ as J’s allergic reaction was bothering her again.

Automatic gates & electric gates in Kenya

Automatic gate system are a very practical, safe, and space-efficient solution for parking lots, both public and private, or other restricted areas. The traditional swing gates, despite providing the same end service, are challenging to install in locations with limited space, let alone challenging to automate due to the swinging nature and strain on the mechanism. Our recommendation is installation of automatic gates that offers the sliding gate mechanism. We Install automatic gate systems in Nairobi and all around Kenya. We offer the most re-known brands including centurion gate motors. For all your electric gates and automatic gates installations please visit our website and learn more: https://metocus.co.ke/electric-gates/

A day on safari is a unique experience that feeds your soul from sunrise to sunset. In this article, we highlight what you can expect. Experience heart-pounding intensity one moment, followed by long stretches of searching the landscape for wildlife the next. All this is intertwined with quality downtime in some of Africa’s most luxurious and unique accommodations. An African safari is unpredictable, with experiences that offer panoramic views of plains or rampaging herds, often at the same time. The following guide covers what a day on safari is like, illustrating how each may be similar in design, but with experiences that differ. #luxurysafari #luxuryafricansafari #luxurytanzaniasafari #luxurytravel #tanzaniasafari #vacation #travel #africa #adventure #wildlife #luxury #traveling #tourism #explore #love #wilderness #wildernessculture #zanzibar #zanzibarisland #kenya #experience #kenyasafari #kenyaairways #luxuryhotels #people https://www.instagram.com/p/CqKWkoqIrRu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Kenya Airways and Delta Air Lines signs codeshare agreement

New Post has been published on https://newscheckz.com/kenya-airways-and-delta-air-lines-signs-codeshare-agreement/

Kenya Airways and Delta Air Lines signs codeshare agreement

Delta Air Lines and Kenya Airways PLC have expanded their codeshare agreement, increasing the choice of destinations offered by Delta in Africa and extending Kenya Airways’ reach in North America via the U.S. gateway of New York-JFK.

The new agreement enhances the airlines’ already extensive codeshare network to offer seamless travel to a total of 39 cities across Africa, the U.S. and Canada.

The enhanced agreement enables Delta customers flying nonstop on the airline’s services from New York-JFK to Accra, Ghana, to connect with Delta-marketed codeshare flights to Monrovia, Liberia, and Freetown, Sierra Leone, operated by Kenya Airways.

Delta-marketed codeshare flights will also be available on Kenya Airways’ services from Nairobi to Cape Town, South Africa; Harare, Zimbabwe; and Kigali, Rwanda.

From New York-JFK, Kenya Airways has placed its code on Delta’s services to Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport, offering customers increased access to the U.S. capital, as well as to Indianapolis, Indiana.

“Delta is the leading U.S. airline in Africa. Strengthening our partnership with Kenya Airways responds to customer demand for more travel choice between the continent and North America,” said Alain Bellemare, Delta’s E.V.P and President International.

“These codeshare services will offer customers greater access to destinations in South, West and East Africa, rounding out Delta’s existing network of nonstop services to Accra, Dakar, Johannesburg and Lagos.”

Julius Thairu, Kenya Airways Chief Customer and Commercial Officer, added, “Kenya Airways and Delta Air Lines’ partnership remains central to our plans of offering the fastest connections to the Americas from our Nairobi hub and is in-line with our brand promise of enabling the sustainable development of Africa by providing access to different markets.

In addition to Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport and Indianapolis, Indiana, other destinations we have within the codeshare are New York: Chicago O’Hare, Illinois, Denver, Colorado, Orlando – Florida, Miami – Florida, Raleigh Durham – North Carolina, Phoenix – Arizona, Charlotte – North Carolina.”

Delta and Kenya Airways are both members of the SkyTeam alliance. Frequent Flyers can earn and redeem miles on both airlines, while Elite Plus travelers benefit from SkyPriority services.
