Kenya Airways has launched direct flights to Bangui, the largest city in the Central African Republic. The airline will operate two weekly flights every Tuesday and Thursday to the Bangui M’Poko International Airport.
The introduction of flights to Bangui brings to 46 the number of destinations that Kenya Airways flies to.
“Travelers on this route are expected to benefit greatly from the superb connections that KQ’s network provides to destinations across Africa, Far-East and Middle East,” Kenya Airways Commercial Director Mohan Chandra said in Nairobi on Tuesday.
He said the route will enable investors dealing in diamond, coffee, cotton, timber to access the European markets for the French-speaking nation.
The diamond-rich city of four million people will offer easier connectivity for the importers of food and textiles from major suppliers in France, United States of America, Cote d’Ivoire, Germany and Japan, said Chandra.
He said that there is a lot of traffic from Bangui to the trader routes which Kenya Airways is targeting.
