Kenya Airways (KQ) has announced it will close its booking offices in Kisumu City and Johannesburg in South Africa on Monday, March 20.

In a statement issued on Sunday, KQ said the closure of its booking offices in Kisumu and Johannesburg is as a result of the anti-government protests scheduled in the two cities.

However, the national carrier clarified that its airport offices in Johannesburg and Kisumu will remain open during the period of the demonstrations on Monday.

“All our other offices within our network including the airport offices in Johannesburg and Kisumu will be operational,” the KQ statement read in part.

It went on, “Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused by the closure of the offices. The safety and wellbeing of our employees and customers are our highest priority.”
