Kenya Airways flight 003 arrives at JKIA, Nairobi from JFK International airport, New York. The first nonstop flight to leave the US to the East African airspace finally touched down at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on the morning of Tuesday, October 30.
Deputy President William Ruto was at the airport where he welcomed the flight which was similarly treated to a water salute.
