Love is in the Air for Network Airline Management’s Flower Powered Freighters

Network Airline Management has transported over 1200 tons of freshly cut flowers from Nairobi, Kenya into Europe, to meet additional demand ahead of Valentine’s Day this year.

The Network Aviation Group has been supporting Kenya’s acclaimed horticulture industry for almost 35 years and this continues into 2022. This year’s “Valentine’s Rush” during the first 2 weeks of February, Network operated a total of 12 B747F flights, including 4 additional flights due to the high demand, carrying approximately 1260 tons of flowers in total! This complimented Network’s annual schedule of 4x weekly flights from Nairobi into NAM’s European base of Liege.

With Network’s Nairobi office overseeing the entire operation, each ‘flower charter’ flight was loaded to max payload with 105 tonnes of freshly cut flowers, including Pink/Red Roses mixed with Carnations, ready for onward trucking across Europe into various major cities such as London, Paris, and Rome upon arrival.

Network Airline Management’s Commercial Director, Andy Walters said, “2022 has been another very successful Valentine’s season for us and we’re extremely happy to maintain our role in supporting the Kenyan flower industry once again.”
