KQ plots expansion

KENYA Airways has unveiled plans for major growth in its network, with the addition of up to 20 new destinations in Africa, Europe and Asia over the next five years.

In an interview in Nairobi overnight, ceo Sebastian Mikosz said the first additions included at least one European route and one Asian destination on top of its network in Africa.

The carrier has previously hinted at possible non-stop flights to Australia using its Dreamliners.

Mikosz said the SkyTeam carrier’s route plan would be submitted to the airline board next month.
