Lufthansa Group is all set to expand its presence in Kenya by adding more flights from Frankfurt starting June 3, 2023. The airline will expand its services between Frankfurt International (FRA) and Jomo Kenyatta International (NBO) airports from five to seven weekly.
Simultaneously, Lufthansa's leisure carrier, Eurowings Discover, will continue to operate its four weekly summer flights between Frankfurt and Mombasa.
This will bring the total capacity between Kenya and Germany to eleven weekly flights.
Lufthansa Group already serves Mombasa, Zanzibar, and Kilimanjaro through Eurowings.
Kevin Markette, General Manager, East Africa, Lufthansa Group said: "East Africa is undoubtedly one of the most important markets for us on the continent, and our booking figures reflect that the region is particularly popular with holidaymakers from Germany and abroad. Thanks to the vast expansion of our route network on the continent, together with our Group airlines, our customers can now reach their idyllic holiday or business destinations much faster and more directly.”
By increasing its frequency to Nairobi, Lufthansa is underlining the importance of Kenya for the group and its long-term commitment to the region.
