Kenya Airways Partners with UK Company to Launch Drone Operations in Kenya

Kenya Airways (KQ) is set to launch drone operations in the country as part of its plan to diversify income sources. The national carrier signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with UK-based logistics company Skyports to collaborate in launching drone services in the country. The move comes weeks after the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) received a green light to operationalize the Civil Aviation (Regulatory Fees and Charges for Unmanned Aircraft Systems) Regulations, 2020, which were passed by the National Assembly on March 6th, 2021.
