Kenya Airways enters into sale agreement with Omni Air International

Kenya Airways is to sell two Boeing 777-200 ER following approval from Kenya Airway’s board.

Omni Air International is an airline based in the United States, which provides global passenger ACMI, wet lease and charter programs.

The sale follows Cabot Aviation’s appointment in August as Kenya Airways’ exclusive remarketing agent for the four B777-200ERs, as Kenya Airways continues to retain Cabot Aviation to remarket the two remaining Boeing B777-200ERs and a spare Trent engine.

“Although we announced our intention to rationalize our fleet in line with our current position more than a year ago, it has taken a while to find a good home for our B777-200. We are now satisfied with this sale and will make other important announcements on fleet rationalization later this month,” said Kenya Airways Group managing director and CEO Mbuvi Ngunze.

The two aircraft will leave within the next two months, after the carrier has completed their exit preparation.
