Kenya Airways (KQ) has announced flying to Eldoret five times a week and three times per week to Maputo,  Mozambique, amid growing demand for air travel.

KQ will also increase frequencies to five destinations, including two extra flights to New York in the United States of America.

This is in addition to another two weekly flights to Paris, France, ahead of the Olympics later this year.

The Airline also says that it will deploy B787-8 aircraft to drive up capacity to Accra and Freetown, providing passengers with more comfort and convenience.

The airline will also add three additional flights to Lagos, Nigeria.

All these new destinations and increased frequencies are now available for booking on Global Distribution Systems (GDS).

In a statement on Thursday, KQ Chief Commercial and Customer Officer Julius Thairu said that the expansion is aimed at meeting growing demand while ensuring the airline’s bottom-line revenue growth.

“The network expansion is reflective of our mission of propelling Africa’s growth by connecting its people, cultures and markets,” he said.
