Kenya Airways (KQ) has converted four of its passenger aircraft into cargo carriers as part of its measures to lessen the impact of Covid-19 on its business.

One of the planes, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, flew yesterday from Nairobi to London with 40 tonnes of fresh produce consisting of vegetables and flowers.
