Following our commencement of A380 line maintenance for Emirates in 2012 and adding the B747-8 for Cathay Pacific in 2013, we are glad to receive our B787 approval now in 2014. We feel very privileged working closely together with our B787 launching customer Thomson Airways, offering their passengers the unique experience of flying on board of the Dreamliner, a great way to kick start your holidays in Kenya."
