Bluebird steps in to offer charters services as pilot's strike continues

Bluebird Aviation has announced it is ready to help ease current flight disruptions in the country following a strike by Kenya Airways pilots.

The Aviation's General Manager, Captain Hussein Mohammed said while other small operators have begun recording an increase in enquiries and bookings, it is ready to take up passengers on charter flights.

“ We are ready to take in passengers on a charter flight basis. We welcome all passengers currently stranded in various airports to come for our customised services,” said Captain Mohammed.

Kenya Airways on Saturday requested its passengers to cancel some of their tickets after their pilots began their strike.

The strike left over 10,000 Kenyans stranded with the national carrier facing the risk of losing Sh3oom daily.

Kenya airways however announced resumption of some flight on Sunday though it is not yet fully in operation.

Bluebird Aviation provides scheduled, non-scheduled and ad-hoc air charter services within the Eastern and Central African region and beyond

The company has grown into one of the charter companies in the region, catering not only for the humanitarian sector but to private and government institutions as well.
