Kenya Airways has announced that it has entered into a code-sharing agreement with India’s second largest airline, Jet Airways to allow the local carrier to fly more passengers into some key Indian cities.
In the agreement, Kenya Airways will place its flight code (KQ) on Jet Airways’ seven daily flights between Mumbai and New Delhi, five daily flights from Mumbai to Ahmedabad and five daily flights between Mumbai and Hyderabad for travel into India. This, together with KQ’s twice daily flights on the Nairobi – Mumbai route will allow Kenya Airways passengers greater access to these key Indian cities and onwards to other destinations in India.
The arrangement also enables Jet Airways passengers to book codeshare tickets to Nairobi, and access the rest of Kenya Airways network across Africa.
“This partnership will enable us to offer our customers seamless connections to the three cities. We see a lot of demand into domestic India from Kenya and East Africa, with passengers travelling mostly for business, leisure or health tourism,” said Mr Mbuvi.
