Kenya Airways has signed a lease agreement
with Turkish Airlines for one of its three Boeing 777-300 aircraft as
part of cost-cutting measures the national carrier is undertaking.
KQ, as the airline is known by its
international code, says the aircraft has since been deregistered in
Kenya and subsequently re-registered with the European carrier.
Financial strain
The national carrier, which is
under financial strain, has this year sold two Boeing 777-200 planes to
US-based carrier Omni Air International and entered into a lease
agreement for another pair of Boeing 787 planes with Middle Eastern
airline Oman Air.
Omni Air International has already taken possession of the two aircrafts while Oman has received just one.
