Kenya Airways resumes Nairobi-Maputo Flights

National carrier, Kenya Airways (KQ) resumed direct flights between Nairobi and Maputo, Mozambique today, with three weekly flights on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The new route will serve travellers originating from Kenya and offer a convenient connection point for passengers from other African cities via Nairobi.

The event was graced by among others, Transport Principal Secretary Mohamed Daghar, Foreign Affairs PS, Dr. Korir Sing’oei, Mozambique’s Ambassador to Kenya, H.E. Jeronimo Chivavi, Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) Chairman, Hon. Caleb Kositany and KQ CEO, Allan Kilavuka.

Speaking during the event, PS Mohamed Daghar, said the resumption will not only enhance travel and trade between Kenya and Mozambique but also open new avenues for tourism, business, and cultural exchange.

"Today's launch is a tangible testament to KQ's remarkable progress and the exciting future ahead. As we unveil our 45th destination, Maputo, we mark a major milestone in our network expansion journey," said Mr. Kilavuka.

The expansion will enable Kenya Airways to enhance intra-Africa connectivity, a key driver of enhanced trading opportunities and economic growth both regionally and internationally. The new route also complements KQ's existing service to Nampula, Mozambique, further solidifying its regional presence.
