Kenya Airways has made network adjustments to five key African destinations to optimise operations during the peak season.

“In light of the current market landscape and as part of our Business Continuity Plan, we have made the strategic decision to make adjustments on its route networks in order to ensure smoother and more efficient operations,” said Mr Martin Gitonga, KQ’s Head of Network Planning and Alliances.

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: Effective 1st July 2024, Kenya Airways has been operating daily flights on the midday-time window by adding flights on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Johannesburg, South Africa:  Effective 1st August 2024, the five weekly flights on the Night-time window, will be upgraded to Boeing 787 Dreamliner. This is part of the 26 weekly flights operated by Kenya Airways to Johannesburg, South Africa.

Cape Town, South Africa: Effective 1st August 2024 all three weekly non-stop Nairobi to Cape Town flights will be upgraded to Boeing 787 Dreamliner, offering 30 full lie flat seats in business and 204 economy seats with generous seat pitch.

Douala, Cameroon: Effective 11th August 2024, all five weekly flights to Douala, Cameroon will be operated non-stop from Nairobi and back without a tag, offering shorter flight time and better connectivity through Nairobi and beyond.

Bangui, Central Africa Republic: Effective 9th August 2024, Kenya Airways will suspend the five weekly flights to Bangui, Central Africa Republic. The cargo service will not be affected by the suspension.

Kenya Airways says it remains committed to continuously optimizing its flight schedule to better align with demand and performance objectives.

“Passengers holding bookings on affected flights to or from Bangui after the suspension date will be contacted by Kenya Airways to arrange alternative travel options, including rebooking, refunds, or re-routing,” Mr Gitonga said.
