Kenya Airways Signs Expanded Codeshare Deal with Delta Airlines
Kenya Airways (KQ) has signed an expanded code-share agreement with US-based Delta Airlines, opening up new destinations for the two airlines.
Through its nonstop flights from Nairobi to New York, Kenya Airways is expected to connect to Delta’s services to Washington, offering access to the US capital and the city of Indianapolis.
On the other hand, Delta customers will connect to more African cities including Monrovia (Liberia), Freetown (Sierra Leone), Harare (Zimbabwe), and Kigali (Rwanda).
The expanded agreement takes the two carriers’ code-share network to a combined 39 cities across Africa, the US, and Canada.
“Kenya Airways and Delta Air Lines’ partnership remains central to our plans of offering the fastest connections to the Americas from our Nairobi hub and is in line with our brand promise of enabling the sustainable development of Africa by providing access to different markets,” said Julius Thairu, Kenya Airways acting Chief Customer and Commercial Officer.
Other destinations for Kenya Airways within the code-share cover Chicago, Colorado, Orlando, Florida, Raleigh Durham, Phoenix, Montreal, Houston, Miami, Denver, Toronto, and Charlotte.

Damn, they missed DFW Airport.
They might have forgotten to add Texas. They listed Orlando and Florida as well as Colorado and Denver as separate destinations. All things being equal, my flights to Kenya just got quicker and I no longer need to fly to Europe when I fly Delta.
At least now we will be having our TUSKERS on time...but all jokes aside Kenya Airways has the best food...PERIOD.
Kuna ugali skuhizi?
Sure, how do they miss DFW?? Where 90% of Kenyans reside?
Kenya Airways is a Loser; a Perpetual failure due to Corruption nobody is Willing to Fight.
Not sure what kind of a deal this is, but Delta is not selling non-stop tickets from JFK to NBO. Just visit delta.com and and try it.
why can't KQ add more US destinations where Kenyans are. They could fly to Atlanta, Boston, DC and Dallas cause that's where most Kenyan population is in US. They can do like Ethiopian which flies to New York both JFK and EWR, DC, Chicago and Huston. KQ has enough dreamliners to fly to US and they can add a few more dreamliners to their fleet.
