Kenya Airways strikes codeshare with British Airways

Oneworld carrier British Airways is to begin a codeshare with SkyTeam operator Kenya Airways, after the recent resumption of flights between London and Nairobi. Under the agreement, the UK carrier will add its code to Kenya Airways’ flights from Nairobi connecting to 20 African destinations. The Kenyan carrier will in turn add its code onto BA lights from London Heathrow to 26 UK and European points. The codeshare comes after BA in September resumed flights from London to Nairobi. Kenya Airways had restarted services on the route earlier this summer after Kenya lifted international travel restrictions in place to counter Covid. BA’s head of alliances Christopher Fordyce says: ”After a difficult 20 months with global travel restrictions, it’s fantastic to see travel between the UK and Africa resuming. We are really pleased to be able to offer our customers access to even more destinations across the region thanks to our new codeshare agreement with Kenya Airways.”<br/>
