Kenya Airways launches 4-Weekly flights to Mauritius

Kenya Airways has announced the launch of four weekly flights to Mauritius as part of its strategy to expand its footprint across Africa.

 The new route is set to complement the existing operations by Air Mauritius and allow both airlines to offer daily services between Nairobi and Mauritius.

“The daily operation is indeed great news for frequent passengers as it will allow both airlines to reinforce the growing business and leisure interactions between the two countries,” read a statement from the airline.

The Nairobi – Mauritius is set to have a great impact on Kenya Airways upcoming direct non-stop flights to New York by reinforcing its attractiveness to the American Premium Leisure travelers.

“We are very excited by this new opening that will allow daily connections between two of the most attractive countries in the Region. Furthermore, this new flight will have a great impact on our New York flight as it will improve our attractiveness on the Premium Leisure segment,” said the Kenya Airways Group Managing Director and CEO Sebastian Mikosz.

The existing code-share agreement with Air Mauritius’ three weekly flights will also be applicable on Kenya Airways’ flights. The national carrier will operate from June 2018 with four flights a week.

“Kenya Airways will operate flights between Nairobi and Mauritius on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Monday and Thursday flights will depart Nairobi at 11:45 am while on Wednesday and Saturday flights will depart Nairobi at 9:50 pm.”
