Kenya Airways (KQ), the national carrier, has opened a water bottling plant at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to cut costs, generate revenue, and reduce external supply shocks.
The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) chairman Caleb Kositany and KQ CEO Allan Kilavuka unveiled the pyro-diesel and the water bottling plants and the transformation of Msafiri House.
“The Pyro-Diesel Plant helps cut fuel expenses and reduce the environmental impact of ground operations,” the Airline said in a statement on social media.
