Kaberia said that the one year contract between the Kenyan government with the national carrier will increase efficiency, save money and do away with uNPRedictable flights schedules.

"Teams will not arrive at competition venues in a huff because of delays caused by delayed or cancelled bookings because the airline will receive schedules for all international events well in advance," he intoned.

The Regional General Manager of Kenya Airways, Grant Onyango, said teams flying on the airline will receive special recognition during flights in addition to maintaining 24-hour contact with players.

"We will fly teams across the globe, including where we don't operate scheduled flights, because Kenya Airways being a member of Sky Team has partners who fly to all corners of the world," Onyango said.

The Under 20 football team will be the first beneficiaries of the deal when they fly to Ethiopia later this month for the World Cup qualifier, followed by the national hockey team that will take part in the Africa Qualifiers in Cairo, Egypt next month.
