In response to the rising demand for travel within East and Southern Africa, Kenya Airways (KQ) is proud to announce the launch of a new route connecting Nairobi directly to the vibrant city of Maputo, Mozambique. This exciting expansion, scheduled to take flight from 14th June 2024, underscores KQ’s commitment to enhancing its network and providing seamless travel experiences across the continent.

Julius Thairu, Chief Commercial and Customer Officer at Kenya Airways, emphasises the airline’s dedication to meeting the soaring demand for air travel. He states, “The addition of Maputo to our network strengthens ties between Kenya and Mozambique, opening doors for increased trade, tourism, and cultural exchange.”

Maputo, beyond being a major trade hub for Southern Africa, captivates visitors with its rich blend of history and culture. Influences from Portuguese colonial heritage adorn the city’s architecture, while bustling markets and a thriving art scene offer insights into contemporary Mozambican life. Whether one seeks relaxation on pristine beaches or exploration of fascinating museums, Maputo promises an unforgettable experience.

Commencing from 14th June, Kenya Airways will operate three flights per week to Maputo, with Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays providing flexible gateways to explore this dynamic city. This expansion aligns with KQ’s broader network strategy for FY2024, which includes increased frequencies to popular destinations such as New York, Paris, Lagos, Accra, and Freetown.

Kenya Airways looks forward to facilitating seamless travel experiences and fostering connections between Africa’s diverse cultures and flourishing economies with the launch of this new route to Maputo.
