Kenya
Airways will start a direct flight between Nairobi and Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
on 18th May, 2017.
This will bring total Kenya Airways’ destination
to 52 and its second city in Zimbabwe after Harare, where it operates 21
flights weekly.
The
new route between Nairobi and Victoria Falls will operate three times a week -Monday,
Thursday and Saturday.
“This new route highlights our strategy to
continue winning in Africa which is driven by opening up the region and
ensuring our value proposition meets the demands for our customers,” CEO
Mbuvi Ngunze said.
The
new route will be linked to Cape Town, South Africa, increasing the airline’s operations
to Cape Town from the current fourto six.
“We have seen increased demand for
Cape Town, and had to increase our frequency in December. The route via
Victoria Falls offers our guests two leisure holiday options,” Ngunze said.
KQ, as it is known by its
international code, will be the only carrier offering direct services between
Victoria Falls and Cape Town.
The route will be operated by
Embraer E190 with a configuration of 12 business class seats and 84 economy
