Kenya Airways to Operate over 50 flights to Mombasa

Kenya Airways has moved to consolidate its dominance in domestic flights by revamping its Mombasa route.

The National Carrier from November 5th operates 10 daily flights to Mombasa with two dedicated Boeing 737-300 aircraft. As a result Kenya Airways fares will begin from Kshs 7,999 inclusive of all taxes on the route.

Kenya Airways Group Managing Director and CEO, Dr. Titus Naikuni, noted that there has been an increase in passenger traffic on the Mombasa route and the airline was keen on offering capacity to the increased traffic. He added that KQ recently added 2 B737-300 aircraft in line with the airline strategy to increase the level of efficiency on the domestic and regional services by offering passengers more choice of flying times through increased frequencies.

“The low fares we have introduced coupled with the over 50 flights a week to Mombasa is evidence of our commitment on maintaining our market share on this Mombasa route,” said Dr. Naikuni.

This exciting development comes in the wake of Kenya Airways ordering for two Embraer 190 aircraft which are expected to be delivered early next year.
Kenya Airways has embarked on an aggressive network expansion program to cater for the growing passenger traffic and customer needs. The airline has plans to operate to Malindi early December.

Kenya Airways serves over three million passengers a year and flies to 50 destinations worldwide, 41 of them in Africa.

“Our main goal is to interconnect Africa and link the entire continent to the rest of the world,” concludes Dr. Naikuni saying that the airline currently covers over 70 percent of the continent.
