More KQ Flights to Eldoret

Kenya Airways will add three more flights between Nairobi and Eldoret, beginning in June, to address the increased seasonal demand.
This will bring to 14 the total number of KQ flights on this route, and with the three additional flights, Kenya Airways will effectively operate double daily flights to Eldoret.
On Mondays and Tuesdays, the additional flight will depart Jomo Kenyatta International Airport at 17h10 and arrive at Eldoret International Airport at 18h10. The next flight will then depart Eldoret at 19h00 and arrive in Nairobi at 20h00.
 On Sundays, the additional flight will depart Nairobi at 07h00 and arrive in Eldoret at 08h00. The return flight will depart Eldoret at 08h45 and arrive in Nairobi at 09h45. The route is served by Embraer E170 aircraft. Eldoret sits in the Rift Valley region of Kenya and is the country’s fastest growing town.

KQ Fly to Eldoret

Kenya Airways will commence flights to the Kenyan town of Eldoret, on the 17th of October. Located in the western region of the Rift Valley Province, KQ will operate 10 flights into Eldoret every week.
 Eldoret, taken from the Masai word “eldore”, meaning “stony river” due to its proximity to the Sosiani River, is currently the fifth largest town in Kenya. It houses one of Kenya’s seven public universities, Moi University, as well as its own international airport.
The Trans-African Highway forms a 10,269km east-west crossing of the African continent, with this frequented transit road network also passing through Eldoret. Major industries in the area include textiles, wheat, corn and pyrethrum, a natural insecticide made from the dried flower heads of the Chrysanthemum plant genus.
