Updated Sun, October 16th 2016 at 11:05 GMT +3Nairobi: Kenya Airways Sunday cancelled five morning flights from Nairobi due to what they termed as shortage of crew. KQ flights 600 to Mombasa, 432 to Kilimajaro, 350 to Juba, 706 to Lusaka/Harare and 740 to Maputo were cancelled after the crew failed to report to work. “As per the safety regulations that the airline abides to, minimum number of cabin staff per aircraft type is required and on some of our flights we are unable reach these levels,” the statement read. The airline said that the passengers on cancelled flights would be rebooked on later flights or alternative airlines. “Despite our effort to solve the problem by combining several flights, we have made the difficult decision to cancel some as the safety of our guests is paramount,” said KQ.
