Kenya Airways and Royal Air Maroc reactivate their code-share agreement which has been paused
Kenya Airways (KQ) and Royal Air Maroc (RAM) have agreed on Tuesday 6 December 2022 to resume their code-share agreement initiated in 2016 and interrupted in 2019.
Under this reactivation, RAM passengers will now be able to travel to Nairobi, Zanzibar and Johannesburg on flights operated by KQ. In the reverse direction, the Kenyan carrier will in turn be able to market tickets on RAM-operated flights to Casablanca and Marrakech, with a continuation on its international network.
"This partnership strengthens our connectivity to the East and South of the African continent, thanks to a longstanding and reliable partner, Kenya Airways. It will enable our passengers to reach Nairobi and Johannesburg, two important economic and financial capitals, as well as Zanzibar, a popular tourist destination," said Mr Abdelhamid ADDOU, Chairman and CEO of Royal Air Maroc.
Commenting on the codeshare partnership, Mr Julius Thairu, KQ's Commercial and Customer Director, said: "We are very pleased to see this partnership reactivated, as it will provide our travellers with enhanced connectivity options between our two hubs, Nairobi and Casablanca. Our customers will be able to enjoy the financial centre of Casablanca and the tourist destination of Marrakech.
RAM currently operates three weekly frequencies to Accra (Ghana) from Casablanca and will add three flights through its codeshare with KQ to Nairobi (Kenya) linking Accra to Johannesburg (South Africa) and Zanzibar (Tanzania).
