Governors in the north Rift have agreed to start exporting fresh produce from the Eldoret International Airport next month. Investors already have put up storage facilities for fresh produce and Oisegere said the fresh produce will be airlifted to Europe and the Middle East. Mandago was at the airport a week ago during the launch of the inaugural East African Safari Air flights from Wilson Airport to Eldoret and Lodwar. The airline in the new route will have three weekly flights for a start before upgrading to daily flights later. Eldoret Airport will now have four weekly passenger flights and another four scheduled cargo flights weekly along with several other ad-hoc freighters per week.
