    H.E. Ambassador Michael Lotem:

    - I was delighted to attend the launch of the direct cargo flights line Astral Aviation Limited from Nairobi to Tel Aviv. 

    This is a real win - win for all: the Kenyan farmers & private entrepreneurs, the Israeli consumers, the Israeli exporters to Kenya, Astral Aviation Limited & even Kenya Airports Authority​. 
    Nairobi is the cargo hub in Africa. We, Israelis, thank Astral Aviation Limited and look forward to enjoy more Kenyan products. 
    Hope to see this followed by passangers' flights... Bravo "Astral" for your vision and business skills.​
