National carrier Kenya Airways (KQ) has cut back the number of flights on the recently launched Nairobi-New York route citing low demand during the winter season.
KQ, as the airline is popularly known, said it has rescheduled flights for the period covering November to March next year.
“The winter schedule for all our flights took effect from Oct 28 (day of the Nairobi New York flight launch) and will run until March 30, 2019… We cancel flights that are not commercially viable, so this is not unique to this route,” a KQ official said.
The airline has already cancelled 10 scheduled flights on the new route for the period beginning November 5 to December 5, and it is expected that more trips will be affected before the end of the winter season in March 2019.
KQ did not disclose the specific days affected by this latest change in flight schedules.
