Kenya Airways passengers will now receive flight related information and updates, for instance change in flight schedule, through email, SMS, and WhatsApp prompts.

This follows the airline's introduction of an advanced flight communication service to enhance real-time customer communication.

The airline's Chief Commercial and Customer Officer Julius Thairu said the solution enables personalised and prompt notifications throughout the customers’ journey.

He said Kenya Airways is committed to enhanced customer experience, and will strive to deliver the highest levels of service and remain cognisant of the importance of real time communication.
