Kenya Airways has not been affected by the ongoing grounding of Boeing 777 planes, management has confirmed, as investigations on the most recent mishap touching the model continues. The US plane manufacturer Boeing has recommended grounding dozens of its 777 aircraft around the world after one of the jets suffered an engine failure, on Saturday. The main focus is on 777s powered by Pratt & Whitney 4000-112 engines. Yesterday, KQ said its engines are powered by General Electric Company (GE Aircraft Engines), hence not affected. Kenya Airways has three Boeing 777-300s, with a seating capacity of 400 passengers, which are among its biggest planes.
