Kenya Airways has alerted its customers of possible flight delays in the next two weeks due to a global shortage of aircraft spare parts.
The airline said in a statement on Friday, December 8, that the supply chain disruption had affected its maintenance schedule, forcing some of its planes to stay on the ground longer than expected.
The company’s managing director, Allan Kilavuka, apologised for the inconvenience caused by the changes in the night flight schedule.
