On January 30, Kenya Airways and Air India entered a codeshare and interline partnership, offering passengers from both airlines access to a wider range of destinations on a single ticket.
Under the codeshare, Kenya Airways can place its ‘KQ’ code on Air India-operated flights between Delhi and Nairobi, allowing Kenya Airways passengers from cities across Africa, including Johannesburg and Cape Town, to travel to Delhi via Nairobi. It also offers access to Air India’s extensive network of domestic destinations including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Goa, Jaipur, Kochi, Kolkata, and Hyderabad.
Air India will place its ‘AI’ code on the two daily flights between Nairobi and Mumbai operated by Kenya Airways, which will seamlessly connect passengers via Mumbai on Air India-operated flights to and from Bangkok, Colombo, Dhaka, Malé, Melbourne, and Singapore.
Air India and Kenya Airways plan to progressively add other destinations in their networks to the codeshare agreement. The codeshare flights are available for booking through Air India and Kenya Airways’ respective booking channels.
