00:00Kenya Airways says booking on its flights have surged sharply since February
00:05as disruptions linked to the conflict in the Middle East reshape global travel patterns.
00:10On Monday, the airline reported that its seat occupancy rate has climbed close to full capacity,
00:16a significant rise from levels earlier in the year.
00:19Executives say the increase has been driven largely by travelers from Europe, the United States and parts of Asia.
00:25The current war between Iran, the United States and Israel has unsettled the aviation sector.
00:30It is forcing several carriers to reroute flights, avoid certain airspaces and in some cases suspend services altogether.
00:38The changes have reduced options for passengers and pushed more demand toward airlines operating outside the immediate conflict zone.
00:46Kenya Airways said routes linking Africa to Western markets and Asia are performing especially strongly
00:51as passengers seek alternative connections.
