As a Tanzanian who got educated in Kenya and have so many great friends there......... I feel just as proud as you my Kenyan people. We don't need to make a mandatory stop in Europe anymore......
Was absolutely amazing to be on this maiden flight from NYC. Wasn't expecting the whole red carpet experience as well as the random little gifts they gave us =)
This is a very great achievement for Africa , especially for Kenya, I am not from Kenya , but I rejoice witn my fellow african. To God alone the all Glory
“The Pride of Africa.” All these people asking what’s the big deal, see your lives! Indeed it is a big deal. Tusisumbuane tafadhali, having KQ at the ramp/apron at JKF is a big deal! For the world travelers who know what I’m talking about just know. If the furthest you’ve traveled is upcountry to Nairobi, you may not realize how big this deal is. This is advertising Kenya too! Those who have a dream/wish/desire that they’ll one day get in this, your dreams are valid! Those who are complaining that “what’s the big deal,” lack of exposure is a dangerous thing. See your life!!! Kenya Airways, The Pride of Africa!!!
agreed from boston its hard getting flights from usa to africa many of us want to visit but lack of flights make it hard..you know how important convenience is for americans lol
I am proud to be Kenyan. Proud of Our pilots, they are in their own league, their landing is usually very smooth. Keep it up. Can't wait to use the direct flight to New York in Feb. 2019 God willing.
This is a great milestone for Kenya, KQ indeed is the Pride of Africa. 7000 people have already booked the flight for the next three months showing how important the direct flight is.
Those asking whats the big deal. its a big deal coz we,ve never had a direct flight to u.s.its a big step ahead.saa zingine muwe munafurahia maendeleo. si kukosoa even the good things.
Few years back, nilikua naamini only leaned people wanapadaga ndege..those who have degree's,,but njia za Mungu nizingine,,my testimony if God says yes no one can say no.i even blv I will take ts flight soon
Receive it in the Mighty Name of Jesus. I am a form one drop-out and now I own one of the most powerful passports in the world. I can travel all over the world without any problem. Trust in God and your das is loading
By God's Grace pray .decree and declare your will and desire. I can testify to that we used to live in huruma and there was this neighbour that had a sister who was a hair hostess I used to admire her and always wished to fly. Yes it happened to me I know live in Netherlands 16 years. Mambo tuu na kumini
am Tanzanian bt for this nawapa big up Kenyans hayo ndo maendeleo tunayoyataka wana East Africa .....non stop tuwaenz wa asisi wa mataifa yetu Jomo kenyatta and Julius Nyerere kwa matendo like this.
Sasa every time I fly to Kenya from new york... nikupanda kenya airways nakubonga na hao wasupuu ma hostess wafanya job uko ndani hadi nifike kenya.... how cool 😎
Sam Gituku, this is an aircraft/airplane/aeroplane not a flight. A flight is a programme, which is executed by an aircraft. 5Y-KZG (Plane) performed Flight KQA-002 from NBO to JFK, and then the same 5Y-KZG performed Flight KQA-003 from JFK-NBO. The next day, 5Y-KZC performed flight KQA-002 from NBO to JFK and did the return Flight KQA-003. So, the flights door are not opened, the flight does not come to a stop....
Hongera Kenya. Kenya means business. Give it a few days and ithe flight will be overbooked. Pulling all travellers from East and central Africa looking for a direct route to NYC
The flight number is just a call sign, the aircraft is still the same that departed on the 28th. So KQ002 will be the call sign and the flight number when it's heading to New York and when it's returning to Nairobi it will change to KQ003 but the aircraft registration number always remains the same. Like this one in particular is known as Zambezi and its registration number is 5Y-KZG
Proud of my motherland. Proudly Kenyan. I wish someone could now convince trump to allow Kenyans in Canada to transit through the US to Kenya without requiring a transit visa or a US visa. The trips to Canada are too many hours because of the long stopovers in Europe and other countries depending on the airline. If Nairobi to JFK is just 15 hours, and JFK to Vancouver is one hour, we Canadian residents will greatly benefit. Sometimes we fly for over 35 hours and so home seems too far and too costly to travel. Citizen tv please pursue this for us. Thank you, we will boost the KQ profits further if this happens. Remember long ago Kenyans didn't even require a visa to step into the USA, we could apply on arrival. Nowadays even just transit we need a visa.
The last time I checked, Kenya Airways was not a government controlled company. It got privatized when Titus Naikuni was the CEO. I don't know why DP Ruto will go to the JKIA
Note: Those yapping that it ain't a big deal, I can attest they have never taken a flight even in our local airstrips. As the say goes, "Asiyejua maana, haambiwi maana"
I have taken several flights and I said it's not a big deal .May be you GSU can't afford with that police salary. Sasa tueleze maana ya kwenda New York .
Let's be happy about our pilots ,our bro and sister can now fly the the jumbo plane very confidently and even carry the whites who used to call us Africa proper ,thumbs up fellow States men!
Very good good good Kenya airways l♡ Nairobi and newyork l from Sudan My name is Abo bake mawia I♡ plane I♡ plane in Africa South Africa airlines, Egybt air, Ethiopian airlines, Kenya airways, Royal air maroc, Angola airlines taag.
The big deal about this for those who don't know is that the United States has most of the richest people in the planet. More people have more money in the U.S.A than in any other country in the planet. More people with disposable income means more market to sell one's goods and services. Air Travel is more expensive than any other form of travel, so this is only available to the financially well-off. And the population of the USA is about 6 times that of Kenya.

Big as Qatar airways
Kenya Airways is older than Qatar Airways.
