Kenya Airways (KQ) and airBaltic have signed an interline agreement to allow passengers to use single tickets.
The partnership increases KQ’s connections in Baltic states such as Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, as well as in European countries.
On the other hand, airBaltic Flyers will now enjoy connectivity in Africa through KQ destinations such as Uganda, Tanzania, the Seychelles, Mauritius, and South Africa, among other nations.
KQ Chief Commercial and Customer Officer Julius Thairu said the partnership allows the National Carrier to explore and extend its reach in Europe and diversify their routes.
“Our aim is to provide connectivity for Kenya Airways customers and provide them with more travel choices across Europe,” he said.
AirBaltic Senior Vice President in Charge of Network Management Thomas Ramdahl exuded confidence in the partnership, adding it will improve customers' travel experience.
“In order to give our customers additional flexibility and travel options, we are glad to team up with Kenya Airways,” Ramdahl said.
“By working together, we can give our customers seamless connectivity and more options when booking their travel between Africa and the Baltics.”
This becomes the second deal signed by KQ after a similar one with Fly Emirates a few months ago.
