Thursday, June 20, 2024 Kenya Airways resumed its direct flights between Nairobi and Maputo, offering three weekly flights on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. This relaunch provides a convenient travel option for passengers originating from Kenya and serves as a vital connection point for travelers from other African cities via Nairobi. The expansion will allow Kenya Airways to improve intra-Africa connectivity, which is crucial for driving economic growth, enhancing trading opportunities, and expanding businesses across local and intercontinental economies.
This new route supplements KQ’s current service to Nampula, Mozambique, strengthening its regional footprint. “Today’s launch is a tangible testament to KQ’s remarkable progress and the exciting future ahead. As we unveil our 45th destination -Maputo – we mark a major milestone in our network expansion journey,” says the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Allan Kilavuka.
In addition to Maputo, this expansion aligns with Kenya Airways’ broader network strategy for 2024, which includes more frequent flights to popular destinations such as New York, Paris, Lagos, Accra, and Freetown. “Aviation is critical to boosting national GDPs by creating jobs and fostering economic activity. The increased intra-African travel will act as a catalyst for economic development across the continent.
Our passion lies in fostering connections across the continent, making trade and travel between our nation.
