Nairobi, Feb 14 (TIWN) Kenya Airways said it will resume flights to Rome from its hub in Nairobi in June.

Last year, KQ expanded its code-share agreement with the Rome-based Alitalia Airline, creating additional connectivity to the networks of the two carriers by allowing customers can fly seamlessly to their destinations.  “We are delighted to resume weekly flights to Rome and will continue to maintain an expanding schedule to various destinations across our network as countries ease travel restrictions. Our codeshare partnership with Alitalia, offers our customers excellent connections in Rome to rest of Italy, Europe, and USA and in Nairobi to the rest of Africa including Vanilla Islands” said Julius Thairu, Kenya Airways chief customer and commercial officer on Friday.  The codeshare flights give tourists and businesspeople additional travel options and better flight schedules when travelling between African points into Europe, the Far East and South America through the two airlines’ hubs in Rome and Nairobi.
