National carrier, Kenya Airways (KQ) and Vietnam Airlines have renewed their codeshare partnership following KQ’s resumption of flights to Thailand, which commenced on November 21, 2023.
In a statement on Thursday, KQ said its codeshare partnership with Vietnam Airlines will allow customers to enjoy flexibility and choice with smooth connections via Bangkok and Nairobi to points such as Johannesburg, Cape Town, Dar es Salaam, Kisumu, Entebbe, Kigali, and Mombasa, among others—perfect for leisure and business travellers or those visiting family or friends.
“Customers travelling to Vietnam can connect to Hanoi and Saigon easily via Kenya Airways’ services in Bangkok and onwards on Vietnam Airlines,” read the statement in part.
KQ resumed its services to Bangkok on November 21, 2023, offering flights three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays on its popular B787-8 Dreamliner aircraft.
Travellers can buy single-ticket itineraries on Kenya Airways’ flights for their entire trip and take
advantage of hassle-free flight benefits, including the airline’s baggage allowance, in addition to
convenient bag check-through to the final destination.
“Kenya Airways and Vietnam Airlines are members of the SkyTeam Global Airline Alliance, and frequent flyers can therefore earn miles on both airlines, while Elite Plus travellers benefit from SkyPriority services,” KQ added.
This comes days after Kenya Airways signed a codeshare agreement with Air Europa, the third-largest Spanish carrier.
In the new agreement, Air Europa passengers will fly to Nairobi from Amsterdam and allow Kenya Airways guests to fly to Madrid, Palma de Mallorca, New York, and Miami.
Kenya Airways will deploy its codes on four Air Europa routes, specifically from Amsterdam to Madrid, Madrid to Palma de Mallorca, Madrid to New York, and Miami. At the same time, Air Europa will place their code on the Kenya Airways Amsterdam to Nairobi flight.
