Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Kenya\u2019s National carrier, Kenya Airways (KQ), demonstrated the future of sustainable aviation by flying an environmentally sustainable B787-800 Dreamliner flight from Nairobi to Amsterdam.<\/p>\n

The flight, which was in mid-May 2022, was part of The Sustainable Flight Challenge (TSFC), bringing together 16 SkyTeam Alliance member airlines to demonstrate and implemented environmental and carbon reduction initiatives for sustainable aviation in the future.<\/p>\n

Allan Kilavuka, CEO and Group managing director of Kenya Airways said, \u201cWith sustainability becoming an increasingly pressing issue, we recognise that genuine change will only happen if the entire aviation ecosystem works together to transform our industry. For Africa, we want to raise the bar on sustainability, and this challenge has allowed us to collaborate and compete for real change while accelerating solutions and technologies for a better tomorrow\u201d.<\/p>\n

KQ\u2019s participation focused on environmental conservation and worked closely with its partners, suppliers and guests across the customer journey to support the reduction of carbon emissions during this flight.<\/p>\n

The challenge was a clear demonstration that the success of sustainable aviation will be dependent on partnerships and synergies from all aviation stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Featuring advanced technologies, the B787-800 Dreamliner provided better fuel efficiency of up to 20%, compared to other long-haul aircraft.<\/p>\n

Guest on board was served with a carefully selected eco-friendly menu, prepared in partnership with caterers.<\/p>\n
