Kenya Airways Ponders Maun, F/Town Routes

Addressing the media at the launch of two additional flights between Nairobi and Gaborone on Thursday, the airline's country manager Juliet Zintambila said as plans for further expansion of their footprints in Botswana, direct flights to Francistown and Maun were already on the radar.Buoyed by their success on the Gaborone-Nairobi route, she said they hope the other routes would become equally successful.

Meanwhile, the airline has added two new flights on its fleet servicing the Nairobi- Gaborone route.The new night flights will operate on Tuesday and Thursday. The Tuesday flight leaves Gaborone just after midnight at 00:50hrs and arrives in Nairobi at 06:00hrs. The Thursday night flight leaves Nairobi at 20:30hrs and arrives in Gaborone at 23:30hrs. Zintambila said the expansion comes as the airline aims to meet the rising demand for travel between the two cities.Kenya Airways now operates five flights a week from the initial two.There will be two night flights and three flights during the day.
