With newly repurposed Boeing 787 Dreamliners to carry cargo, Kenya Airways Cargo is not only prepared to transport air cargo in 2021 but is raring to go. While the ongoing horticulture season is already underway, the Covid-19 vaccine distribution across the continent is a priority for the air cargo carrier.
Kenya Airways Cargo (KQ Cargo), the cargo division of Kenya Airways, has had a busy few months. While they were preparing for the flower season, they not only restarted flights but more recently also repurposed one of two Boeing 787 Dreamliner into ‘preighters’ with the help of Avianor, the Montreal engineering company. At the official launch of the preighter for the air cargo carrier, Allan Kilavuka, Kenya Airways Group, CEO and MD, said, "KQ’s purpose is to contribute to the sustainable development of Africa. The preighter will enable us to bridge businesses and enhance connectivity. Kenya will export more goods to our partners across the globe and stimulate business for local suppliers."
