Kenya Airways and Air France KLM Group have agreed to end their Africa-Europe joint venture partnership from September 1, 2021.
The Joint Venture cooperation had earlier been suspended for the 2020 calendar year by the airlines due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent unpredictability of return to normalcy in operations.
According to the reports, Kenya Airways will continue to serve the European market through its gateways of London, Paris, Amsterdam with Rome slated for resumption from 2021.
These routes will be served by onward codeshares from the Air France KLM group and additionally with our expanding network of European carriers including Alitalia, British Airways, Lufthansa, and Swiss International Airlines amongst others. Kenya Airways says.
According to the Kenya Airways CEO, Allan Kilavuka, "The development allows Kenya Airways to offer additional options and convenience to our customers connecting through our European gateways in line with our goal of supporting the recovery of international tourism in Kenya and connecting Africa to the World, and the World to Africa."
Kenya Airways is Africa's leading airline operating more than 70 flights a day and flying to more than 53 destinations around the world, with 43 African destinations.
