Kenya Airways is the flagship carrier of Kenya and was founded in 1977, after the dissolution of East African Airways. Their head office can be found in Embakasi, Nairobi, and their hub is located at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

In January 2013, Kenya Airways was praised for being one of the best Sub-Saharan carriers. It was also ranked 4th in seat capacity Africa behind South African Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, and EgyptAir. It became a full member of SkyTeam in 2010.
