It is our strong belief that you will be able to safeguard your business interest and ensure professional and timely handling of your export shipments by using a reputable forwarding agent.
Such an agent will be able to negotiate the most favorable rate with Kenya Airways, give you a comprehensive quotation, advise you on all the export formalities, documentations and other requirements for your shipment.
The agent will obtain booking confirmation, take care of all the formalities at the departure and will present your cargo for acceptance to our Ground Handling Agent (GHA). We will be happy to provide you with the list of our appointed forwarding agents.
In the event that you would still like to send your shipments yourself without using an agent, you can do so by presenting your cargo directly to our GHA. In this case,you will have to do all the export documentation as well as the bookings yourself, as our GHA will only do acceptance of your cargo and issue you with the transportation document Air Waybill (AWB).
