(1888PressRelease) February 09, 2008 - Announcing the news Daniel Sykes, Director of Sales, Marketing and Business Development, said “Following the cancellation of all UK registered charter flights to Kenya, hundreds of our existing customers have been left without flights. All of our hotels are situated along the coast, some distance north of Mombasa, and we are in constant liaison with our hotel managers, who have reported that since the unrest begun all has remained calm and customers are enjoying their holidays.
