Kenya Airways Flies High at 2026 World Travel Awards

Kenya Airways has strengthened its position as one of Africa’s strongest aviation brands after securing four major titles at the 2026 World Travel Awards (WTA), including the Africa’s Leading Airline 2026 award.

The national carrier was named Africa’s Leading Airline, Economy Class 2026, while its flagship Pride Lounge in Nairobi won Africa’s Leading Airline Lounge 2026 and its celebrated inflight magazine, Msafiri, was recognised as Africa’s Leading Inflight Magazine 2026.

The four awards, presented during the World Travel Awards Africa Gala Ceremony in Zanzibar, represent recognition across the customer journey from the airline’s overall proposition and economy cabin, to the airport experience and the storytelling that accompanies travellers throughout their journey.

“These awards are an important recognition of the commitment of our people and the confidence placed in Kenya Airways by our customers and industry partners,” said Kenya Airways Acting CEO Capt. George Kamal. “We are deeply grateful to the travellers and travel professionals whose confidence has made this recognition possible.”
