The tough economy may have driven locals to cut down on domestic travel over the Easter holiday, industry players have said. Sabula said, while most hotels and travel options were sold out over the same period last year, this year Easter holiday bookings are at about 90 per cent. In a move to capitalize on last-minute travel, Kenya Airways has revised its schedule and increased capacity on the Kisumu and Mombasa routes. “The increased capacity will give our customers greater choice and flexibility in planning their travel during this peak travel period,” Kenya Airways Group MD and CEO, Sebastian Mikosz. The Standard Gauge Railway also plans to introduce five extra coaches for an unspecified period over the Easter holiday.
