South African Airways & Kenya Airways customers to enjoy lounge access in South Africa & Kenya
Kenya's flag carrier Kenya Airways (KQ) and South African Airways (SAA) have announced a new lounge access agreement for its customers as part of the Strategic Framework Agreement (SPF) signed in November 2021.
The lounge access agreement will allow Kenya Airways business class customers to have exclusive access to the lounge services at South African Airways' ultra-modern premium lounge located at O.R Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg. According to Simon Newton-Smith, Executive Commercial at South African Airways, the lounge access will be reciprocal for South African Airways customers flying to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi, Kenya.
Kenya Airways (KQ) and South African Airways (SAA) signed a Strategic Framework Agreement (SPF) in November 2021 to work together to increase passenger traffic, cargo opportunities, and general trade by taking advantage of strengths in South Africa, Kenya, and Africa and eventually form a Pan-African carrier.
