• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Exercise of the fifth freedom traffic rights is subject to approval by the respective aeronautical authorities. In the agreement, it is good to note that currently, there is no Kenyan carrier that operates scheduled air services to and from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Similarly, there is no airline from Jordan operating scheduled air services between Jordan and Kenya. However, the Jordanian authorities have, on several occasions, requested, through diplomatic channels, for the agreement to be formalised and signed. That is why this agreement is on the Floor of the House. That is the agreement between us and Jordan. view
