Kenya Airways will be launching flights to Luanda, Angola

Kenya Airways new africa flight routes

Following the successful approval of landing rights from the Angolan authorities, Kenya Airways will be launching flights to Luanda every Tuesday and Friday. The announcement comes shortly after the airline started flights to Sudan’s Southern city Juba in June.

Kenya Airways’ Group Managing Director and CEO, Dr Titus Naikuni, said that the addition is a major milestone for its growing African network. “Angola is our 50th destination and the 41st in Africa, making us the forerunners in connecting Africa to Africa and the world,” he said. Dr Naikuni noted that the airline expected the new route to serve traders, corporates, leisure travelers and prospective travel public at large.

The flight will be operated as a code share with TAAG Angolan Airlines between Luanda and Nairobi, providing connections that will offer a better way to fly from Angola to the rest of the world and vice versa.
