Kenya Airways planning massive expansion over the next few years
Thursday, May 31, 2012
Kenya Airways has detailed plans for a major expansion of its operations, which calls for launching services to North and South America, plus Australia, by 2017.
Despite this expansion into new continents, the carrier said the main thrust of its efforts will be to broaden its route map to Asia.
In China, Kenya Airways currently flies only to Guangzhou; by 2021, it plans to add Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xiamen, Kunming and Urumqi. It also plans launch six new routes into India plus three elsewhere in Asia.
Kenya Airways is also planning growth in its existing European and Middle Eastern markets.
