Zambezi Airlines and Kenya Airways have entered into a commercial partnership that will see the Zambian carrier operate three weekly flights between Lusaka and Nairobi on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays, with onward connections to all major cities served by Kenya Airways.
Effective March 2, Zambezi Airlines passengers will be able to purchase tickets for travel to Nairobi, with onward connections to any of Kenya Airways’ 50 destination in Africa, the Middle East, the Far East, Asia, Europe and America.
The two airlines announced their partnership at a launch ceremony held in Lusaka on January 28.
Zambezi Airlines Chairman, D. Maurice Jangulo, explained that, thanks to Kenya Airways’ membership of the SkyTeam alliance, travellers throughout the world would be able to see Zambezi Airlines’ flight schedules and plan their trip utilising the most convenient connections possible.
Representing Kenya Airways management, Rosemary Adogo, the airline’s Area Manager for Southern Africa, said the partnership between Kenya Airways and Zambezi Airlines would increase connection options around the world for its passengers who will be able to fly to destinations in Africa and the world through the Kenya Airways hub at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Jangulo further announced that, for Zambezi Airlines to achieve its vision to connect all the SADC countries, the airline had acquired a third B737-500 aircraft to be delivered in three months’ time.
Kenya Airways has offered Zambezi Airlines a number of other benefits such as access to its Pride Centre training facility and its aircraft maintenance base at Nairobi.
