KQ compile codeshares in Asia

Kenya Airways (KQ) has entered into a codeshare agreement with Vietnam Airlines, enabling the African carrier to develop its presence throughout Asia and grow its global network. The new reciprocal agreement with Vietnam Airlines will allow KQ passengers to travel via Bangkok on to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh and vice versa daily, while Vietnam Airlines will codeshare on daily KQ services between Bangkok and Nairobi. Kenya Airways Group managing director and chief executive Dr. Titus Naikuni said the partnership would enable its customers to access more destinations in Asia, while also giving an opportunity to Vietnamese passengers to access the 47 destinations flown by Kenya Airways in Africa. Earlier this year Kenya Airways signed codeshare agreements with both Saudi Airlines and Korean Air; currently operating 17 individual international codeshare partnerships.
