Saudia Cargo adds flights to handle flower demand

   Saudia Cargo will operate four extra freighter flights from Nairobi to Amsterdam this month in order to meet the higher demand for flower exports, the company announced Wednesday.
   “Over the last year, Saudia Cargo has significantly increased its scheduled capacity in the Kenyan export market by 40 percent,” stated Ken Mbogo, regional sales director for Africa at Saudia Cargo. “The deployment of these extra frequencies in February is a part of our continued strategic growth plan and a further testament of our long-term commitment to the Kenyan floricultural industry.”
   The carrier already has six weekly B747 freighters on the sector, with a total of 15 freighters that reach 225 destinations.
