BA and Kenya Airways

British Airways’ customers will be able to fly to more destinations across Africa, thanks to a new codeshare agreement with Kenya Airways.

Interestingly BA is a member of oneworld with Kenya Airways part of Star Alliance.  In times of crisis even old rivals get together.

Customers to Nairobi with British Airways will be able to seamlessly connect onto 20 destinations across East and Central Africa, including Addis Ababa, Douala, Entebbe, Lusaka, Mombasa and Zanzibar, as well as offering customers more options to get to popular holiday hotspots, Mauritius and Seychelles.

In the reciprocal agreement, customers flying with Kenya Airways to London, will now be able to connect onto 26 destinations across the UK and Europe that BA operates to, including Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Glasgow, Madrid and Milan.

BA currently offers four flights a week from Heathrow to Nairobi, operated by a four-class Boeing 777 aircraft, with cabins from World Traveller (Economy) right up to First (First Class).

Christopher Fordyce, BA’s Head of Alliances, said: “After a difficult 20 months with global travel restrictions, it’s fantastic to see travel between the UK and Africa resuming. We are really pleased to be able to offer our customers access to even more destinations across the region thanks to our new codeshare agreement with Kenya Airways, making that bucket list trip even easier to plan.”
