Kenya Airways partners with government to boost Fly Kenya policy adoption, driving transparency, efficiency, and national pride in government travel.

Kenya Airways today convened strategic discussions with government stakeholders to advance the adoption of the Fly Kenya policy, which prioritizes the national carrier for official government travel. The initiative underscores the airline’s commitment to fostering partnerships, equipping government travel agents, and developing innovative solutions to ensure seamless policy integration across government agencies.

Since its launch in 2016, the Fly Kenya policy has faced challenges with compliance due to weak enforcement measures. In response, Kenya Airways is proposing the integration of the Foreign Travel Management Information System (FOTIMS) to enhance transparency, efficiency, and adherence to the policy. This system is expected to play a pivotal role in streamlining travel planning and ensuring that government ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) adhere to the directive.

The policy is part of the government’s broader effort to support Kenya Airways by bolstering its financial sustainability, reinforcing national pride in Kenya’s aviation industry, and enhancing the country’s global connectivity and competitiveness. By promoting the use of the national carrier for government travel, the policy aims to secure a steady revenue stream for the airline while also showcasing Kenya’s aviation capabilities on the global stage.

In a further demonstration of its dedication to this initiative, Kenya Airways launched the Asante Executive Hub at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in September 2024. This hub provides tailored travel solutions for government officials, including flexible booking options, competitive pricing, priority ticketing, and dedicated customer service support.

Kenya Airways has reiterated its commitment to continued collaboration with government agencies to streamline policy implementation. By working closely with stakeholders, the airline aims to enhance compliance, improve tracking and reporting, and encourage wider adoption of the Fly Kenya policy. These efforts are expected to drive growth for the national carrier and contribute to Kenya’s broader economic development.

As Kenya Airways continues to engage with government stakeholders, it is clear that the airline sees the Fly Kenya policy as a critical component of its strategy to strengthen its position as a leading African carrier while supporting the nation’s long-term economic goals.
