One of Africa’s leading airlines, Kenya Airways, which flies into two major cities of Malawi -Lilongwe (daily) and Blantyre (thrice weekly), from its international hub in Nairobi, has planned to launch flights from Rome to Nairobi and from Geneva to Nairobi on its Boeing 787 Dreamliner four times a week starting in June this year.
“The addition of flights from Rome and Geneva will be welcomed by both our leisure and business customers traveling for tourism and business. Kenya is a melting pot of diverse cultures with an endless array of activities and destinations. The route opens huge opportunities for several industries such as hotels and tourism players in Kenya to grow their businesses. Geneva hosts the highest number of international organisations in the world such as the United Nations (UN), making it a global hub for diplomacy. It is a perfect complement to Nairobi which is also Africa’s hub for UN among other international agencies,” said Kenya Airways Group MD and CEO Sebastian Mikosz.
Kenya Airways previously operated from Rome and with the resumption of flights plus the addition of Geneva, this will bring the destinations Kenya Airways serves in Europe to 5 and 55 worldwide. With this route, Kenya Airways will offer excellent connections from these two cities to its 43 destinations in Africa for business, diplomatic missions, and tourism.
This is especially positive for Italian and Swiss visitors to Malawi, who no longer have to fly to another European destination to connect to Africa with Kenya Airways.
