Kenya Airways has entered into a codeshare agreement with Air Namibia to facilitate daily connections between the airlines’ Nairobi and Windhoek hubs through Johannesburg and Lusaka.
Under the agreement, Kenya Airways will place its ‘KQ’ code on Air Namibia flights from Johannesburg and Lusaka to Windhoek. In turn, Air Namibia will place its ‘SW’ code on Kenya Airways flights from Lusaka and Johannesburg to Nairobi.
Kenya Airways COO, Mbuvi Ngunze, and Air Namibia MD, Theo Namases, said the partnership would improve connectivity within Africa.
“The industry we operate in is highly competitive and dynamic,” said Namases. “As African airlines we need to realise that smart partnerships are the way forward and the key to sustainability and survival.”
The new codeshare services between Air Namibia and Kenya Airways went on sale on June 20.
