Kenya Airways History
Established in the year 1977, Kenya Airways was formed as a result of dissolution of East African Community and disunion of the jointly-held East African Airways. In the year 1986, the government of Kenya took the first step towards privatisation by publishing paper on the 'Economic Management for Renewed Growth'. This paper cleared the intentions of the government to make certain corporations free as these could run better under private sector. After exactly five years, in 1991, Philip Ndegwa started the proceedings for the privatisation of the airlines. With continued best-in-class services, the initial public offerings were issued in the month of March, 1996. In the year 1997, Kenya Airways added four Boeing 737-300 aircrafts that served various domestic and international routes. With each passing year, the airline managed to bag many awards. Some of the major factors that helped Kenya Airways grow are its low cost flights, team of hard-working professionals and massive fleet.
