Jambo!: AirAsia X launch KL-Nairobi direct flight

AAX CEO Benyamin Ismail, AAX chairman Datuk Fam Lee Ee, Capital A executive chairman Datuk Kamarudin Meranun and Tourism Malaysia chairman Datuk Dr Yasmin Mahmood, during the launch of the Nairobi route at AirAsia headquarters in Sepang, yesterday.

The move followed the airline's solid start to the year, showcasing a robust trajectory in its financial results with strong load factors and regaining market leadership on the network front. In March this year, AAX also introduced new flights to Almaty in Kazakhstan, its maiden entry into Central Asia.

Capital A Bhd CEO and AirAsia Aviation Group advisor Tan Sri Tony Fernandes said: “We are thrilled to announce a direct new route, bridging Malaysia and Kenya. This milestone, coming on the heels of our 15th consecutive win as Skytrax’s World’s Best Low-Cost Airline, embodies our mission to connect the world affordably. This new route not only opens up Asia to Africa but also has the potential to strengthen ties in tourism, business and trade between the two continents.

AAX CEO Benyamin Ismail added: “Embarking on this new adventure into Africa is truly exhilarating, particularly in light of our significant growth trajectory earlier this year. We anticipate carrying over 156,000 travellers annually on this route, which will strengthen ties and boost the tourism sectors in both Malaysia and Kenya. Furthermore, this route presents excellent connectivity opportunities to other key markets we serve, including Australia, China, South Korea, Japan and Thailand.

This promotion is available for booking on the AirAsia MOVE app from now until July 14, 2024 for the travel period between Nov 15, 2024 and Oct 8, 2025. Flight schedule between Kuala Lumpur and Nairobi is as follows :D7 102, 00:30, 15:10, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday.
