The donation follows a formal inspection and acceptance of the aircraft by a delegation from Mang’u High School in 2023. This first-of-its-kind initiative in Africa underscores Kenya Airways’ and Mang’u High School’s shared commitment to advancing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and aviation education.

Speaking at the flag-off ceremony, Kenya Airways Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer Hellen Mathuka stated, “This aircraft, which once soared through the skies connecting people and places, now begins a new chapter in its story. At Mang’u High School, it will become a unique classroom, a hands-on resource to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary for careers in aviation, engineering, and technology.” Mang’u High School Band performs during the ceremony welcoming the decommissioned Boeing 737-700 NG aircraft, donated by Kenya Airways for aviation training on January 13, 2025. /Photo Courtesy.
