Kenya’s national carrier, Kenya Airways  has announced that it will implement a fully cashless system effective June 1st this year  at the Moi International Airport (in Mombasa) and the Kisumu International Airport.

The implementation of a cashless system helps to support the customer shift and preference to cashless transactions and will ease cash collection and reconciliation issues at the airports ensuring efficient services to customers.

Payments will now only be accepted through debit or credit cards and other online payment apps.

Guests can choose from alternative payment options, including Credit/Debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, Union Pay) or M-pesa.
