National airline Kenya Airways has signed a codeshare agreement with Delta Airlines on the Nairobi-New York route, in a bid to improve connectivity to US and Canada. The codeshare partnership will see travellers on board the Nairobi-New York direct flight access 11 US cities and four Canadian cities using Delta Airlines, providing more connectivity and efficiency. The airline will resume its seven weekly Nairobi-New York flights in June to take advantage of peak travel season over the summer. Last month KQ partnered with Alitalia in a similar codeshare agreement expected to take effect beginning June. The agreement will also see apply its ‘AZ’ code on services operated by Kenya Airways beyond Nairobi to a further 19 African destinations.
