MOMBASA KENYA: A United States aviation agency has designated Kenya as a hostile region for US aircraft in its latest advisory and prohibition notice.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) notice also lists Ethiopia on its full prohibition list and restates Somalia as a no-go area for US aircraft. Analysts say the latest classification is a major blow to efforts by Kenya to convince the US to allow direct flights from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to the USA.
