Kenya Airways (KQ) has restored one of its grounded planes, deploying it on busy local and regional routes to meet rising travel demand during the festive season, helping to boost revenues for the year.

On Friday, the national carrier returned one of its five Embraer ERJ-190s, which had been grounded for an extended period due to a shortage of aircraft parts, restoring part of its lost capacity. Since its return, the plane has made 19 flights across local and regional routes as KQ seeks to cope with heightened demand on some of its busiest sectors.
