Kenya Airways (KQ), South African Airways (SAA) signed a Memorandum of Co-operation (MoC) on September 28, 2021, with a long-term objective to co-starting a Pan-African Airline Group – to support mutual growth by taking advantage of the strengths of the two airlines’ hubs at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and Johannesburg O.R. Tambo International Airport – and possibly Cape Town.

The future of aviation and its long-term sustenance is hinged on partnership and collaboration. Kenya Airways and South African Airways collaboration will enhance customer benefits by availing a larger combined passenger and Cargo network, fostering the exchange of expertise, innovation, best practices, and adopting home-grown organic solutions to technical and operational challenges.  – Mr. Allan Kilavuka, CEO, Kenya Airways.
