Kenya Airways to resume daily New York flights in December

Kenya Airways (KQ) will resume its daily flight frequency for the New York route in December, citing a spike in forward bookings for the festive month.

The airline had cut the flight frequency on the route to three per week from five in February after demand subsided following last year’s festive period.
