Delta Airlines opens Nairobi office
Ahead of the expected start of their flights, now expected in early 2009, Delta Airlines has now opened offices in Nairobi. The move is expected to allow for cultivating ties with the business community and the travel agents in order to generate enough bookings, once the flights commence.
Only recently did Kenya and the United States sign a new bilateral open skies air services agreement, which caters for flights between the two countries by designated carrier. Presently, this will be Delta and Kenya Airways, once they have received more of their ordered Boeing aircraft to serve such a route.
The office in Kenya will also oversee the neighboring markets of Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and Ethiopia for the time being, with connecting flights offered by Kenya Airways. Both Delta and Kenya Airways are members of Sky Team and are expected to cooperate closely in developing traffic for passengers and cargo on the planned route.
Flights were initially due to commence much earlier but the post-election violence following the disputed elections in Kenya threw the timetable into disarray.
Subsequently even a late 2008 start was pushed further into 2009 to allow the market to stabilize first. Delta is said to be planning four flights a week via Dakar in Senegal, and there is some anticipation that Kenya Airways may eventually under a code share offer the additional three flights to make for daily direct connections between the US and Kenya.
Tourism and trade will both benefit as it will allow swifter access for American tourists to the East African game parks while also facilitating cargo uplift capacity for exports from Eastern Africa to the US without having to go through Europe.

I would like to introduce myself to you as Kanamugire T. Kamili working with Rwanda Civil Aviation authority in Air Navigation services with experience of 15 years in aviation. Please i have liked your idea of opening new office in Nairobi but you should also open it here in Kigali. we are one of the countries that are lucking cargo flights and yet we operate busines in different coutries of the world. Fist of all we are a land locked country with no water boardering us and when we use water to bring in our cargo it delays them to reach here.
Consider this and find a solution and make business with Rwandan community.

congratulations Delta Airlines on your new deal.I have been studying Tour operations and Airline ticketing and passed the Foundation course,Consultant and the Management course.am seeking employment in your company.
Team,
This is good for every kenyan, above creating jobs, this will allow for healthy competion & probably shift the traditional thinking of kenyans that air transport is made for the rich. We are kenyans equally before airline transport. What as businessmen we need to do is to do our survey & come up with what the costomer needs & not what a businessman needs. Let me wish you all the best.
Am an Accountant currently working,with eight years working experience. If any jobs then we will appreciate joining your fine team of professionals.
