African Safari Airways resume flights to Kenya

Feb. 8, 2008 - PRLog -- Announcing the news Daniel Sykes, Director of Sales, Marketing and Business Development, said “Following the cancellation of all UK registered charter flights to Kenya, hundreds of our existing customers have been left without flights. All of our hotels are situated along the coast, some distance north of Mombasa, and we are in constant liaison with our hotel managers, who have reported that since the unrest begun all has remained calm and customers are enjoying their holidays. In fact, nearly all of the areas affected by the unrest are over 350 miles from our hotels, approximately the same distance as London to Glasgow.”
African Safari Club is currently contacting existing customers to advise them of their revised flight details. Sykes added, “The majority of our existing customers who have been contacted are happy that their holidays are still going ahead. Further to this, we are also able to offer flights and holidays to those who have had their holidays cancelled by other Tour Operators who are no longer flying.”
