Kenya: KQ Buddy Pass Scheme Suspended After Mega Scandal

Kenya Airways has suspended its buddy pass programme, an incentive initiative enabling employees to access two complimentary flights annually. The action follows a scandal that has tarnished the scheme's integrity, with reports indicating instances of beneficiaries exploiting the privilege.

"In view of the foregoing, the 2024 Buddy Pass Programme has been suspended with immediate effect for a period of one month," he added. The buddy pass scheme, which targets the airline's employees, entitles each of them to two free flights per year, each accompanied by up to four other passengers. The scheme allows staff to nominate family and friends within specified limits and clear accompanying rules.
