Kenya Airways suspends flights to Liberia

Kenya Airways has suspended flights operation to both Liberia and Sierra Leone. The suspension was based on a caution from the Kenya’s ministry of Health with regards to the recent Ebola outbreak.

In a statement signed by Titus Naikuni, Group Managing Director & CEO, it said “As we have indicated before, we are dependent on expert advice for our continued operations from Ministry of Health and WHO. Following the Ministry of Health statement; Kenya Airways wishes to confirm that we will comply with the advice to suspend our commercial flight operations to Liberia and Sierra Leone temporarily. This operational decision effective; Tuesday 19th August 2014 midnight, is based on the situation risk assessment by Kenya’s Ministry of Health”.

The airline expressed its sincere regrets for disrupting travel plans clients who are booked on the suspended flights, and it is providing a full refund of all tickets earlier booked and paid for prior to this suspension.

The provision of air transport services during such critical moments remains a crucial component of the outbreak containment and overall management. At the height of the Ebola outbreak, Kenya Airways has remained a key air transport solutions provider. The airline has transported medical staff, supplies and
equipment to facilitate the management of the outbreak.
“I wish to confirm that Kenya Airways will continue operating all its scheduled flights to Nigeria and Ghana. However, in the interest of public safety for both our esteemed guests and staff, we reserve the right to cancel our flights to any other destination should the situation warrant”, Naikuni noted.
