Kenya Airways wants to turn Nairobi into a regional centre for aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), Business Today Kenya reported on Tuesday. The hub would service planes for airlines across Africa.
The outlet described the plan as a strategic opportunity beyond the airline's core passenger and cargo business. It called the opportunity substantial for Kenya Airways.
Boeing figures show the size of the prize. The planemaker projects that Africa's aircraft maintenance market will generate about $90 billion (KSh 11.7 trillion) in cumulative spending over its forecast period, according to the report.
