Kenya Airways has cancelled its direct flights between Nairobi and New York due to the severe winter weather and snowstorms currently affecting the United States.

On Saturday, the national carrier confirmed that flight KQ 002 from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), scheduled for January 24, would not depart. Consequently, the return leg, flight KQ 003 from New York to Nairobi on 25 January, has also been grounded.
