Kenya Airways has selected its route between Nairobi and Dubai to pilot a specialised service for the transportation of products that require higher levels of security.

The ‘KQ Security' service is expected to capitalise on growing demand for the transportation of products that are vulnerable to pilferage, including digital cameras, mobile phones and computer accessories.

"This high security service has been launched for security firms, cargo agents and traders, in addition to shippers who are dealing with consignments that are vulnerable to theft," said Shawn McGuiness, head of cargo at Kenya Airways.
