The unusual journey of the aircraft attracted widespread attention, with many commuters sharing images and videos of the rare sight. Traffic police were deployed to manage the transport, but the massive size of the plane made for a slow and careful journey, causing delays and congestion along the busy route.

Kenya Airways expressed pride in the donation, stating: “This partnership will play a crucial role in nurturing the next generation of aviation professionals and innovators in Kenya.”

Despite the traffic disruption, the sight of a Boeing plane being transported by road is a testament to Kenya’s growing emphasis on technological advancement and innovation in education.
