Kenya Airways has confirmed its first departure to its Nairobi hub as 3 July, operating three times a week. Added to the carrier’s Heathrow schedule, it means the airline will serve the UK with 10 flights a week.
Kenya Airways’ connections through Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International airport include Mombasa, Zanzibar, Kilimanjaro and Johannesburg.
Flights from Kenya will be overnight, with an early morning arrival at Gatwick. Departures from London will be mid-morning or lunchtime.
The airline’s chief executive, Allan Kilavuka, said: “This is just the beginning of our expansion plans for the UK market.”
