Dear guests,<br />
We have just launched a new catering<br />
service, another major step in our<br />
strategy to provide an unforgettable<br />
experience throughout your journey<br />
with us, while making our service more<br />
authentic, relevant and true to our<br />
brand identity. Flights of seven hours or<br />
more now have a menu created by one<br />
of Africa’s best chefs. Kiran Jethwa, the<br />
renowned Kenya-born chef, has set the<br />
first new menu: an exquisite fusion of<br />
African ingredients. He has also trained<br />
our crew at our state-of-the-art Pride<br />
Center. In addition, special welcome<br />
drinks – created by Jethwa – containing<br />
herbs, indigenous fruits and tea are<br />
distributed in business class. On shorter<br />
flights, guests now receive new meal<br />
boxes that are easy to take with them.<br />
Whichever new catering service you are<br />
experiencing today, we hope that it adds<br />
to your enjoyment. We feel genuinely<br />
excited when guests have positive experiences<br />
flying with Kenya Airways.<br />
This month, we take you on a journey<br />
through Ethiopia’s picturesque Amhara<br />
region, which is famous for the<br />
excavated churches of Lalibela, and<br />
seems to have inspired Middle-earth in<br />
Tolkien’s Lord of The Rings trilogy. We<br />
take you from the Italian-influenced<br />
capital – Addis Ababa – to Lalibela,<br />
Gondar and on to Bahir Dar, Amhara’s<br />
capital.<br />
Our latest people story focuses on a<br />
group of ambitious African cyclists who<br />
are attempting to emulate the successes<br />
of Kenya-born, four-time Tour de<br />
France champion Chris Froome. Being<br />
away from the key professional-cycling<br />
centres in Europe, these cyclists need to<br />
fight harder for the biggest prize in cycling,<br />
and they’re doing so in ways that<br />
are truly inspiring.<br />
Business is booming in Kenya, especially<br />
in Nairobi, which has become the<br />
Africa hub for many large international<br />
corporations. Our forthcoming direct<br />
flights between Nairobi and New York<br />
– beginning on 28 October – promise to<br />
increase this influx of foreign companies<br />
operating within our borders. Because<br />
of this, our new business story looks at<br />
the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences<br />
and Exhibitions (MICE) industry, which<br />
is proliferating in Kenya, adding another<br />
dimension to the nation’s growing<br />
business sector.<br />
Thank you most sincerely for flying<br />
with Kenya Airways.<br />
I wish you all an enjoyable flight.<br />
