The Kenyan government is reviewing its policy for approving airline flight frequency applications to Nairobi, a move that will increase competition for the national carrier, Kenya Airways (KQ).

• The policy reconsideration aims to support trade by addressing issues faced by agricultural exporters regarding freighter capacity and cost.
• Kenya Airways (KQ) is the national airline affected by this policy change.
• The government has engaged in several trade deals with other economic blocs, necessitating a review of air freight regulations.
