Kenya Airways has renewed and
expanded its codeshare agreement with Vietnam
Airlines as it seeks to meet the demand on the
Asia’s route.
The national carrier yesterday said the
new agreement will allow it more access to South
East Asia destinations, which took effect this November.
The codeshare covers the Bangkok-Hanoi
and Saigon, Nairobi–Hanoi, and Hanoi-Kuala Lumpur
routes.
“The expansion of our codeshare with
Vietnam Airlines is in line with our ongoing efforts
to expand our network, and to offer our customers
reliable, convenient and more travel options,” Kenya
Airways CEO Mbuvi Ngunze said.
KQ has had a codeshare agreement with Vietnam
Airlines since August 1, 2012, and started to fly to
Hanoi in March last year.
The expanded codeshare
with Vietnam Airlines comes in the back of Kenya
Airway’s signing a codeshare with India’s international
airline, Jet Airways, to codeshare on domestic
flights in order to enhance connectivity for passengers
travelling from Kenya to domestic destinations
in India.
