The national team Harambee Stars has signed a one-year partnership with local carrier Fly 540 and in one swoop solved all their transport problems ahead of the forth-coming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Under the agreement, Fly 540 will ferry the team to all their qualifier matches starting with the July 19 fixture against Lesotho away.
The airline will organise a special charter flight for Harambee Stars whenever they go for matches making them one of the few teams on the continent with such transport arrangements.
