Overview

Kenya Airways, known as "The Pride of Africa," is the flag carrier of Kenya and is headquartered at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi. Founded in 1977 following the dissolution of East African Airways, the airline is majority privately owned, with the Kenyan government retaining a significant stake.

The airline operates one of the most extensive pan-African route networks, connecting Nairobi to over 40 African destinations alongside intercontinental routes to Europe, Asia, and North America. Its strategic Nairobi hub serves as a key transit point for passengers travelling across the continent.

Kenya Airways is a full member of the SkyTeam global alliance, providing passengers with access to a worldwide network of partner airlines including KLM and Air France, which have historically been strategic shareholders.

The carrier's Asante Rewards frequent flyer programme enables members to earn and spend miles across partner airlines and commercial partners. Kenya Airways continues a fleet renewal programme centred on the fuel-efficient Boeing 787 Dreamliner for long-haul operations.
