According to the analysis, the countries that have seen the greatest growth in flight bookings from travellers in Kenya in the last 12 months are the UAE, Pakistan and Spain.

The figures reflect bookings made in Kenya through Global Distribution System (GDS) only. Additional booking will have been made directly with airlines, which may or may not also have a GDS presence.

From August 01, 2017 to July 31 this year, bookings made in Kenya through all GDSs to the UAE increased by 675 bookings on the previous 12 months. Due to the large volume of flights that leave Kenya for the UAE, this represented an overall growth of two percent.
