Full-service carrier Hong Kong Airlines and Kenya Airways have signed a codeshare agreement to enhance connectivity in Asia, providing business travellers more flexibility when flying between the two business cities.
Under the agreement, Kenya Airways will place its “KQ” code on Hong Kong Airlines’ flights between Bangkok, Thailand (BKK) and Hong Kong (HKG).
This codeshare agreement will allow Kenya Airways to have a daily service between the two cities, while providing new opportunities for both airlines to work together to improve flight schedules in the region.
“Hong Kong Airlines launched the route to Bangkok since 2010 and now the city has become one of our best connected destinations with 34 weekly flights currently,” says Li Dianchun, chief commercial officer of Hong Kong Airlines. “The codeshare enables passengers of Kenya Airways to choose from our flights between Hong Kong and Bangkok connecting their journey to and from Nairobi with much flexibility.”
Hong Kong Airlines is one of four major carriers based in Hong Kong and is the principal rival of Cathay Pacific. The carrier offers both an extensive network across Mainland China, and an ever-expanding long-haul network to destinations including Los Angeles, Vancouver, and Auckland.
