Liberalisation of air transport has negatively impacted Kenya Airways as opposed to boosting the airline’s growth, the firm has said. “KQ used to be a leader in the East African region with a significant number of modern aircraft. The concept of opening up air transport in Africa was established last January when 23 States signed the Single African Air Transport Market, Kenya among them. International Air Transport Association vice president for Africa Raphael Kuuchi told the Star that member states still needed to iron out problems involving requirements under the treaty. “This number could be higher if we take into account all 55 African states,” Kuuchi said.
