Kenya Airways signs for Boeing landing gear exchange services

With the landing gear exchange program, Boeing will provide nine landing gear shipsets wherever and whenever needed to support the Kenya Airways 787 fleet, enabling more efficient and cost-effective maintenance operations.

“The customer is key in all our operations and this programme will help us continue to offer world class customer service as it will safeguard our operations and minimize disruptions to our guests,” commented Evans Kihara, technical director at Kenya Airways. “This allows us to plan our cash outflow in advance and at the same time enables us to work with Boeing to ensure that our network schedule integrity is achieved, bringing the much-desired predictability to our guests.”

“This is just one example of how we can bring value to our customers through solutions tailored to meet their specific needs – in this case, an increase in Kenya Airways’ 787 maintenance efficiency and cost effectiveness.” said Anbessie Yitbarek, vice president of commercial services sales and marketing for Boeing.  “We look forward to implementing these programs with Kenya Airways, and continuing our long-standing relationship for many years to come.”
