Kenya Airways has won the prestigious British Safety Council International Safety Award 2014, which recognizes organisations that excel in Occupational Safety and health management. The airline was named amongst 519 organisations globally that were recognized during the awards gala in London.
The awards are administered by the British Safety Council. Kenya Airways Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Titus Naikuni said that the award was a great honour to the airline since it recognizes its efforts towards ensuring safety of its staff and guests. “Safety is a key value for us. We always consider safety as a number one priority, for our people and guests. For this reason, we consistently invest effort to ensure that we meet the highest standards for safety in the workplace and operations,” Dr Naikuni said.
