Kenya Airways fir direkt op China ze fléien

Kenya Airways lancéiert direkt Flich op Guangzhou, China ab den 28. Oktober 2008.

The airline’s Communication Manager, Ms Victoria Kaigai at the same time said the airline has unveiled a new winter timetable with increased flights to Bangkok and Hong Kong.

The 12-hour flights to Guangzhou will operate on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays on the airline’s Boeing 777 aircraft.

KQ has been flying to Guangzhou through Dubai since 2005.

“KQ therefore becomes the first airline from sub-Sahara Africa to launch the non-stop flights from Nairobi to mainland China,” said Kaigai.

The direct flight to Guangzhou becomes the third outside Africa. In Europe, the airline flies directly between Nairobi and London, and Nairobi to France.

Guangzhou ass eng grouss Shoppingdestinatioun fir Händler aus Afrika, déi sech duerch den Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) verbannen.

Apart from reducing their travel time by an estimated 20 per cent, travellers on the flights will also eliminate a 2-hour stop-over at Dubai.

De Kaigai sot datt d'Frequenzen op Bangkok elo vu 6 op 7 Mol an enger Woch eropgoen, während déi op Hong Kong vu 4 op 5 Mol d'Woch réckelen.
