Kenya Airways(KQ) will relaunch its flight services to and from Eldoret starting March 25th, 2024.

The relaunch of flights to Eldoret marks a significant milestone in Kenya Airways’ post-COVID-19 recovery journey.
With a commitment to providing reliable and efficient air travel services, the airline continues to play a crucial role in supporting the nation’s economic growth and promoting regional integration.
“As Kenya Airways prepares to resume operations to Eldoret, travelers can expect exceptional service, world-class amenities, and the utmost commitment to safety and comfort.
The airline remains committed in its mission to connect people, cultures, and markets, contributing to the prosperity and well-being of communities across Africa and beyond,” Kilavuka concluded.
Competitive airfares will be offered for flights to and from Eldoret, ensuring affordability and accessibility for travelers.
