KQ Makes KSh214 Million from April's Cargo Business

Kenya’s national carrier, Kenya Airways (KQ) has made a total of KSh214 million in revenues in the month of April, from its cargo business.

According to the airline’s CEO, Allan Kilavuka, the airline made 53 cargo flights in April, after the government suspended all international passenger flights as a measure to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Towards mid April, the airline exported 40 tons of fresh fruits and vegetables to London using one of its passenger planes (Boeing 787 Dreamliner) that was converted into a cargo plane.

Previously, on 12th April 2020, another of KQ’s Boeing 787 Dreamliners took off for Johannesburg loaded with medical supplies and other essential items.
