Kenya Airways is advancing concrete talks to acquire two or more Boeing 777-200Fs for its cargo fleet, marking a shift from general planning to specific manufacturer engagement. The carrier simultaneously holds discussions with Boeing for additional 737s and with Embraer regarding the E2 family to modernize narrowbody operations. This dual-track strategy targets a fleet expansion from 34 to 54 aircraft by 2029, addressing critical revenue needs in African cargo markets while optimizing short-to-medium haul efficiency. The airline seeks at least $500 million in capital to fund these acquisitions, with CEO George Kamal confirming active evaluation of pre-owned or leased widebody freighters alongside potential E2 entry-into-service decisions.
