NAIROBI, May 4 (Reuters) - Kenya Airways said on Saturday Cameroonian authorities had picked up an automatic distress signal from the area where a passenger jet carrying 115 people to Nairobi had gone missing.

Kenya Airways Group Managing Director Titus Naikuni declined to confirm a Cameroon state radio report that the plane had crashed in southern Cameroon but told a news conference an electronic signal had been picked up from the area, indicating it could have come from the plane's black box. "The distress call came from a machine, not a pilot," he said.
