Flying Higher Together: KENAS and Kenya Airways Strengthen Ties in Quality and Accreditation
When two champions of excellence meet, the results elevate an entire industry.
This week, Dr. Walter Ongeti, CEO of the Kenya Accreditation Service (KENAS), paid a courtesy call to Mr. Allan Kilavuka, Group Managing Director and CEO of Kenya Airways (KQ), to explore deeper collaboration in advancing accreditation and conformity assessment within the aviation sector.
As one of the region’s most respected airlines, Kenya Airways is accredited under NDT ISO/IEC 17020, a recognition that underscores its technical competence, safety culture, and commitment to quality. The visit reaffirmed the shared vision between KENAS and KQ — to uphold world-class standards that inspire trust and fuel growth across industries.
The two leaders also discussed Kenya Airways’ pivotal role in the upcoming 1st International Accreditation Conference (IAC 2025) — a premier event that will bring together global experts, regulators, and industry leaders to shape the future of accreditation in Africa.
Through such partnerships, KENAS continues to power Kenya’s transformation into a globally trusted hub for quality and innovation — where accredited excellence takes flight.
