KENYA AIRWAYS EXPANDS CODESHARE DEAL WITH AIR FRANCE TO WIDEN EUROPEAN REACH
(Posted 01st January 2016)
Kenya’s national airline Kenya Airways and SkyTeam partner Air France have in December put pen to paper as the two airlines expanded their codeshare arrangements.
It is understood that passengers travelling on the Kenya Airways’ flights from Nairobi to Paris – a route on which the airline uses their Boeing B787 Dreamliner – now have access to a number of European destinations out of Paris, operated by Air France but with the KQ code attached to it.
Destinations given to this correspondent are among others Lisbon / Portugal, Bologna, Venice and Milan in Italy and London and Edinburgh in the UK, the London flights over and above the daily nonstop service out of Nairobi.
In turn do SkyTeam partners KLM / Air France access to a range of African destinations via Nairobi, where Kenya Airways operates the flights and has both the KL and AF codes attached to it.
