Commencing on the 27th of October, Lufthansa will serve Nairobi with four weekly flights linking the Kenyan capital to Frankfurt, Lufthansa’s main hub and gateway to hundreds of destinations across every continent.

“We are thrilled to be adding Nairobi, one of Africa’s most vibrant metropolises to our East African gateways, offering new as well as loyal Lufthansa Group customers a world of traveling opportunities,” said Tobias Ernst, Regional Manager for Lufthansa in East Africa.

This upcoming Winter Season, Lufthansa will offer flights from Nairobi to Frankfurt on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The late night departure from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport will be operated by an Airbus A340-300 in a three class configuration offering customers 18 Business Class seats, a new Premium Economy cabin seating 19 and 261 Economy Class seats.

A fifth frequency ( Friday ) will be added on the route starting December 11th  through January 16th.

Optimally designed to align flight times with Lufthansa’s growing raft of flights to Europe, North & South America as well as Asia, the early morning arrival into Frankfurt will offer Kenya-based passengers thousands of seamless connections, including those of Lufthansa’s North American and Asian partners.

“Africa continues to be one of the Lufthansa Group’s leading growth markets with key gateways proudly served by Lufthansa, Swiss and Brussels Airlines, linking Europe and this continent’s main economic centers and continuing a long standing tradition of building bridges between  Europe and Africa,” said Claus Becker , Managing Director Sub-Sahara Africa

Lufthansa flights can be booked at any travel agency as well as online through www.lh.com.
