Kenya learn the fate of its direct flights to the US within six weeks.
This is after a final audit by an American transport agency was completed.
Transport secretary James Macharia said Monday the results of the audit of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) as the last point of departure would be out in the next six weeks.
The officials from US Transportation Security Administration were in the country two weeks ago to finalize the audit.
“The results of this audit will be out in six weeks time and we expect to have performed well,” said Mr Macharia in a news conference.
Macharia said that next year June is a possible commencement date for direct flights between the two states.
This is the second and final audit that holds the key to direct flights between Kenya and the US with the government expressing optimism on the outcome.
