SNAPSHOT Star of Africa Kenya Airways recently took delivery of its first 777-300ER (Extended Range), shown here as it taxied at Paine Field in Everett, Wash. The airline named the airplane Maasai Mara after a well-known game preserve in Kenya to which the airline flies tourists. Boeing delivered the new jet to GE Capital Aviation Services, which is leasing it to Kenya Airways. The carrier is scheduled to receive two more 777-300ERs in the coming months and has nine 787 Dreamliners on order. Boeing long-haul jets are key to Kenya Airway’s goal of nearly doubling, to 115, the number of destinations it flies to by 2021. PHOTO: GAIL HANUSA/BOEING 8 BOEING FRONTIERS
