Kenya Airways (KQ) network is set to return to normalcy after the unscheduled grounding of two of its 787 Dreamliners, which disrupted various passengers' flight schedules.

In a statement, the National Carrier confirmed that it received the necessary engine components for one of their affected aircraft and will be back in operation within 24 hours.

“Today, we are pleased to announce that we have received the necessary engine components for one of the affected aircraft. As a result, we anticipate having it back in operation within the next 24 hours,” KQ stated.

This comes a few days after the airline issued an update regarding disruptions to its flight schedules after being forced to ground its two-passenger aircraft.

In the notice, Kenya Airways said that the grounding was caused by constraints in the delivery of engines and crucial engine components and the unavailability of its flight crew for some regional flights.
