Kenya Airways: Makes Flying Easy With Public Private Partnership

TIME : 2016/3/18 11:51:24
Any business thrives with public support and so does any airline company. The passengers prefer a particular carrier when the airliner caters to their needs cost effectively. To offer services at a low cost may not be financially viable for the owners all the time. The owners then need to find a solution. The Kenyan Government operating Kenya Airways did the same too. It went in for privatization in the year 1995 after nearly two decades of its establishment. This public private partnership has helped it to serve the passengers in a better way.

The passengers also have got value for their money with better amenities at low air fares. Now there are many takers for this carrier that offers cost effective air travel to many destinations across the world. This has increased the customer base bringing in more profit and making it more viable to run the airliner. This flag carrier of Kenya has its hub at Jomo Kenyatta international airport and headquarters located at Embakasi. Today it is considered one of the leading carriers of the sub Saharan region catering to the major flying needs of it.

Moreover, by having a Codeshare agreement with a few airline companies like Jet Airways, Precision Air, Aeroflot and so on the connectivity has been enhanced further.
