Kenya Airways (KQ) said on Monday demand for seats on its flights had jumped due to the effects of war in the Middle East, with most of the gains coming from Europe, the US and Asia.

The US-Israeli war on Iran has upset the global aviation industry, prompting some airlines to raise fares and change their schedules to reduce stops at airports in the Middle East, or to cancel flights altogether.
