The Air Kenya fleet is kept busy out of its Wilson base, typically shuttling tourists out to their safari destinations. Ideally suited to these operations, this Twin Otter was acquired back in 1989 but was originally delivered to Air Alpes in 1978

Operating with Bluebird, clearly showing their Qantas-style livery which was modified when the aircraft was obtained from Eastern Australia (along with four others) in Sep 2008. The same scheme was carried across to other Dash 8s in the fleet even though they were not from Qantas companies, including three ex-SAS Q400s
