{{Kenya Airways (KQ) has increased its frequencies in Mumbai from 7 to 10 aimed at catering for the demand between India and Africa. KQ is looking to be in 91 destinations in five years and 115 in 10 years.}} <\/p>\n
To enable the expansion, the airline is relying on the delivery of new aircraft with a new Boeing 767 expected to enter into service in the next couple of weeks. <\/p>\n
The airline plans to launch operations in eight other destinations this financial year after it acquires new aircraft to facilitate its expansion plans.<\/p>\n
The airline is looking to increase its presence in Kenya and Africa by moving into Lamu, Eldoret, and Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Malakal in South Sudan, Mauritius and Cape Town. <\/p>\n
Also in the pipeline is Beirut in Lebanon besides the recently opened direct flights to New Delhi. <\/p>\n
KQ has its eyes on capitalising on strong trade routes including introducing flights to other destinations in India and China. \u201cWe are looking at a selected number of other destinations in India. <\/p>\n
We want to do it soon, with new equipment we can venture into more destinations, move long-haul,\u201d said Mohan Chandra, the airline\u2019s commercial manager. <\/p>\n
The airline\u2019s chairman, Evanson Mwaniki, said one of the destinations the airline was eyeing in India was Ahmedabad, the largest city in the state of Gujarat, India. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
