EgyptAir, Kenya Airways sign codeshare agreement

Kenya Airways signed a codeshare agreement with EgyptAir on the Nairobi-Cairo route that will see the Egyptian carrier placing Kenya Airways’ flight code on its four flights between the two countries beginning 1 June, Xinhua reports. The agreement “will allow [Kenya Airways] to resume direct market access between Nairobi and Cairo since its own operations were suspended in August 2013,” Kenya Airways Group CEO Sebastian Mikosz said. The Kenyan carrier had suspended operations to Cairo as a result of “changing market dynamics coupled with civil unrest.”
