Update 1: Iceland volcanic eruption
Thursday 15th, April, 2010…Kenya Airways regrets to inform its passengers, customers, the travel trade and the public that due to the unforeseen act of nature; volcanic eruption in Iceland, the airline has now cancelled its flights to and from London and Amsterdam until further notice.
This is due to the clouds of volcanic ash towards European airspace leading to closure of the United Kingdom Airspace and London Heathrow and Amsterdam Schiphol on safety grounds.
Operations at Heathrow Airport have been closed for 24hours starting 1000hrs local time and as a result KQ 101/15th APR from London to Nairobi and KQ 102/15APR from Nairobi have been cancelled. In Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport will be closed at 2100hrs local time. KQ 116/15APR is expected to land at 1700hrs as scheduled. However KQ 117/16APR to Nairobi is uncertain and a decision to operate is based on advice by the Netherlands Civil Aviation Authority (RLD) and the KLM Royal Dutch Airlines as our partner and handling agent.
The airline’s staff in London and Amsterdam are making all possible efforts to contact all our booked customers with this information in order to minimize the inconvenience caused by this unavoidable occurrence.
