Yesterday, President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto joined Kenya Airways in the naming of their new passenger jet, the 400 seater Boeing 777-300ER.
Among the features in the plane’s Premier World section are: full flatbed seats with leather foot-rests, laptop stowage and armrests that also act as privacy dividers, Wi-Fi connectivity for passengers, high quality in-flight entertainment; a 15.4 inch touch screen monitor for each seat, power sockets and USB ports.
For the Economy Class, seats are cut above the rest, with articulating seat bottoms for better legroom, four-way adjustable headrests, in-flight handset seatback and large 10.6 inch touch screen monitors. Each seat also has a USB port, with power sockets strategically installed throughout the cabin.
The new 777-300ER joins the already existing range of Boeing planes in the airline’s fleet – which includes 25 passenger aircrafts and two freighters.

KQ will receive two more 777-300ER aircrafts next year.
