Kenya Airways has introduced shuttle bus services from Nairobi city centre to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
The buses depart from Nairobi’s Central Business District at 06h00, 11h00 and 17h00, while the service from the airport to the city departs at 09h00, 14h00 and 21h00. Passengers are allowed two pieces of luggage plus hand-held items.
The shuttle service sees the airline diversifying its revenue sources as it struggles to return to profitability. Kenya Airways posted a record net loss of Ksh26.2 billion (R3,64bn) in the year to March, up from a previous loss of Ksh25.7 billion (R3.57bn). The carrier, which is part-owned by Air France KLM, has been reducing its fleet, selling land and cutting jobs to recover from losses caused by a slump in tourism and the cost of renewing its fleet.
