Passengers flying with Air France between Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and Nairobi will soon have more travel options between the two capital cities.

Beginning 1 April, 2019, Air France will launch two additional weekly flights between Paris and the Kenya’s capital increasing the weekly frequency from three to five.

The additional flights to Nairobi will be operated using a three-class Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner featuring Business, Premium Economy and Economy classes.

The increased flights between Charles de Gaulle Airport and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is part of the airline’s strategy to expand its African network.

The additional flights will be particularly beneficial to French and Kenyan companies especially in horticulture, pharmaceuticals and other businesses that depend on air transport.

Air France resumed flights to Nairobi in 2018 after an eighteen-year absence. France ranks among Kenya’s most significant tourism markets.
