On behalf of somalian people, I will thank to kenyan airways for the start of Direct flight from JKIA to new York airports, I will say to KQ Congratulation for your hard work. I wish KQ will start a flight JKIA to Mogadishu( Adden Adde Airport) as Ethiopian Airline did this week. Insha allah.

From Canada: It's Kenya's time! but also I notice that on the return trip you'll pass over eastern Canada, likely talking with ATC un Montreal (where I live) and Moncton NB, as well as St. John's NF. Further north you will talk to perhaps Goose Bay or Gander NF before getting into one of the Atlantic corridors. I am not a pilot but a retired electronic technician (age 74) with added electrical qualifications. Hopefully these flights will also facilitate what Kenya and many African nations need to stabilise their power grids. And if they need Aluminum, I could imagine you flying that back from Ancienne Lorette QC, as Sept Isles airport would like y be too small, and likely the same for anything close enough to Arvida. (My father, in his time worked 27 years for Alcan, so I "inherited" a certain familiarity with it. ) Montreal is about 450 miles straight North of NYC, but we are almost 1000 miles inland from the coast due to the shape oif the continent.
Game changer indeed. Very pleased about this leap of development from my country. God bless Kenya.
Congrats, Jeff your reporting strength is on another level
walahi this one make me so happy 💪💪💪I love to see Kenya winning 💪💪
Woow great❤❤❤
Wow! love the nonstop flights, think I might book with Kenya flight from NYC to Nairobi for my trip in June. Time to shine

Awesome, very happy for Kenya Airlines, Kenya and the African Continent, I once flew from Schiphol Amsterdam to Nairobi on Kenya Airlines, it was very comfortable and very pleasant. I believe Nairobi airport is also rated as a difficult airport to land on, its above sea level and on a slight inclination, only one way in, no abort mission. Also I was impressed all those years ago knowing that Kenya airlines was part of Start Alliance, great partnership. Well done to all involved.

Wat a game change!! Proud of our airline, KENYA AIRWAYS,, for the last decades it has broken the Monotony!!
It's easier if you are from from the east coast but still abit of a hustle if you will be flying from Pacific Northwest coz it's about a 5hr flight to newyork...Anyway i hope they get more routes here in the 🇺🇸.....nice report Jeff
