KQ to resume flights to Rome in June
Friday February 12 2021
By PETER MBURU
Kenya Airways (KQ) will resume direct flights to Rome, Italy on June 6 flying two times a week from Nairobi.
The carrier will operate the flights on Wednesdays and Sundays, down from a frequency of four before the Covid-19 restrictions were imposed forcing airlines to ground their fleet.
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 Air
