Kenya Airways has signed a codeshare agreement with Jambojet for its flights to Malindi, Lamu, Ukunda (Diani) and Eldoret.

Under the agreement, which takes effect August 1, 2016 Kenya Airways will put the ‘KQ’ designator code on the Jambojet flights to the mentioned destinations, allowing Kenya Airways to sell the Jambojet network to passengers coming from across the world.

“We are delighted to seal this agreement, which will allow us to enhance connectivity between the two networks. This will bring about a greater flow of both local and international travelers and boost the number of tourists to the coastal cities,” said Jambojet CEO Willem Hondius.

Kenya Airways managing Director and CEO Mbuvi Ngunze said, “We continuously strive to improve air access in Kenya and the region as a whole by offering seamless connectivity for travellers. Jambojet continues to be one of our key revenue generators and thus, we will constantly work on strategic linkages to grow our domestic market. The codeshare strategy helps to strengthen both Kenya Airways and jambojet, allowing further growth in the region,: he explained.

Jambojet flights will increase to 17 flights per week, creating seamless connections in both directions.
