The Ministry of Transport on Tuesday confirmed that no Kenyan airline operates the Boeing 737 Max 8 that has now been temporarily grounded by authorities in at least five countries.
This follows the Sunday’s crash of Ethiopian Airlines’ flight ET302 that killed all 157 people on board.
Kenya registered the highest number of casualities. Kenya lost 32 people in the ill fate plan crash.
The ministry further said in a statement released Tuesday evening that no foreign carrier operating in Kenyan airspace was using the said model.
“We wish to state that no Kenya air operator has in their fleet the affected aircraft type,” Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia said in a statement.
The Boeing 737 max has since been suspended in China, Singapore, Australia, Malaysia and the UK.
