Kenyan Airways launches package for travel between SA and East African citizens.
The Kenyan High Commissioner in South Africa, Jane Ndurumo, says she is hoping that trade between South Africa and Kenya, and the agreement of a new visa regime, will improve the economy between the two countries.
The agreement stipulates that Kenyans travelling to South Africa do not require visas. Ndurumo says they are already seeing the impact of the agreement on tourism and other critical sectors.“I am happy to inform you that we have been able to sort out that challenge.
Meanwhile, Kenyan Airways has launched a special package for East African citizens who are travelling between South Africa and that region. The airways say they fly to Kenya six times a day, with four flights out of Johannesburg and two from Cape Town. It also says it has a cargo capacity from the two cities. Speaking to the SABC, Kenneth Narisha Kenei from Kenyan Airways says the route between South Africa and Kenya is the most profitable route for the airline.
“It will be valid for a period of one year and it will be offering 25 percent discounts to any member. Proof of citizenship, through a passport of course, will be mandatory from our end to ensure that this is not abused.” Any cookies that may not be particularly necessary for the website to function and is used specifically to collect user personal data via analytics, ads, other embedded contents are termed as non-necessary cookies.
