Class Fares
As AirKenya provides charter flights, there is no specific class system for passengers. However, as the charter flights are changeable by organisers, it will be at the discretion of the organiser to determine what the flight will provide and entail. There is the option to use the AirKenya exclusive passenger terminal to provide a enhanced premium experience. Seat layout depends on the aircraft used, for example, the seats available in each aircraft are either 50, 37, 18 or 11, so the setup of these will vary.
