Kenyan Airways has suspended ticket issuance authority in the Malawi market with immediate effect.

According to a statement issued by the Kenya Airways, this is due to increasing foreign currency repatriation difficulties experienced in the country.

“Kenya Airways regret to inform our Trade Partners that Kenya Airways has suspended ticket issuance authority in the Malawi market,” read part of the statement.

The statement continued that ticketing Authority for all agents (including KQ CTOs and ATOs) in Malawi shall be withdrawn until further notice.

This comes barely a day after Ethiopian Airlines did the same.
