Kenya Airways (KQ) is set to increase its daily flights to London, United Kingdom (UK) to two effective 29th October 2023.
The National carrier has attributed the move to a surge in the number of customers flying to the UK.
As a result of the increased market demand for the route and growing passenger demand, KQ will deploy the B787 Boeing Dreamliner on the route.
This will result in the total flights per week by KQ to jump 40 per cent to 14 flights from the current 10 flights.
“The airline’s customers can now choose between a morning flight via KQ 100 and an evening flight via KQ 102 allowing more travel options, convenience and flexibility,” stated the national carrier.
