Kenya Airways has announced it will discontinue flights to Hong Kong and Hanoi, Vietnam, from October 29, 2017, saying this will help it optimize its route network and focus more on Africa.
In a statement, KQ said the move will allow it to operate with a better schedule to Asia with a daily flight to Bangkok and Guangzhou. The airline will continue to serve Hong Kong and Hanoi through its partners.
This change will also allow KQ to allocate more seats across its African network where the demand outlook remains strong and capacity insufficient on certain routes.
“This network decision will help Kenya Airways to strengthen its focus on Africa. We will continue to serve our customers to Asia through our direct flights to China and Thailand and work closely with our partners to cover the Asian continent” said Kenya Airways Commercial Director, Vincent Coste.
