Kenya Airways is staring at an operational headache after three of its aircraft were pulled out of service this week, following two separate incidents.

On Tuesday evening, a Boeing Dreamliner 787 enroute to Johannesburg had to make an emergency landing in Dar es Salaam after it developed mechanical problems in mid-air.
