Nairobi — National carrier Kenya Airways has enhanced cooperation with India's Jet Airways to codeshare on domestic flights within cities in India.
The agreement will link Mumbai and New Delhi, Ahmedabad and Hyderabad, in order to enhance connectivity choices for guests traveling from Kenya in to India.
Through this agreement, Kenya Airways will have its flight code (KQ) on Jet Airways' seven daily flights between Mumbai and New Delhi, five daily flights from Mumbai to Ahmedabad and five daily flights between Mumbai and Hyderabad for travel effective today.
This, together with KQ's twice daily flights on the Nairobi - Mumbai route will allow Kenya Airways passengers greater access to these key Indian cities and onwards to other destinations in India.
The arrangement also enables Jet Airways passengers to book codeshare tickets to Nairobi, and access the rest of Kenya Airways network across Africa.
Kenya Airways Group Managing Director and CEO Mbuvi Ngunze said the partnership will enable customers of both carriers to get maximum benefit of this cooperation.
"This partnership will enable us to offer our customers seamless connections to the three cities. We see a lot of demand into domestic India from Kenya and East Africa, with passengers traveling mostly for business, leisure or health tourism," said Mr Mbuvi.
Jayaraj Shanmugam, Jet Airways' Chief Commercial Officer said the codeshare partnership with Kenya Airways will allow the airline offer the India diaspora in Kenya convenient access to more destinations in India.
