AdvertisementMAJOR IMPLICATIONSOthers see the cancellation of US-Kenya flights as having major implications beyond the inconvenience of just traveling back home to see their families. This flight cancellation sends all the wrong messages," he added. The airline started direct flights to the US in October 2018, cutting the journey to 15 hours on the long haul route.
