Airkenya is about to introduce its second de Havilland Canada Dash 7 turboprop. The aircraft are replacing Douglas DC-3s, providing much-needed extra capacity on services into remote dirt airstrips which are not suitable for use by Airkenya's other large turboprops - a Fokker F27 and a Shorts 360. Airkenya's first Dash 7 - originally operated by US regional Atlantic Southeast Airlines - was displayed at the 1997 Nairobi air show at the company's base, Wislon Airport, Nairobi, during September.
