BA Boosts African Network

British Airways is increasing its presence in Africa with additional flights to Morocco. In October, the airline will fly to Marrakech 10 times a week and there will be three flights a week to Agadir. 
This complements its 16 other routes in 15 countries across the continent. Other recent schedule increases include three more flights to Johannesburg and double daily direct flights between Cape Town and London during South Africa’s summer peak season. 
In addition to its international network, British Airways’ South African franchise partner Comair operates over 700 domestic and regional departures a week in South and Southern Africa, including the recent addition of Maputo.

Kenya Airways Flies to Maputo

Commencing 10 June, Kenya Airways will introduce an additional flight from its hub at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi to Maputo, Mozambique.
 This brings to four the number of flights operated by the airline. The flying time is just over four hours, but the one-hour time difference between Kenya and Mozambique should be factored into scheduling.
 Flight code KQ740 will depart Nairobi on Mondays at 10h50 to arrive in Maputo at 13h55, whilst flight code KQ741 departs Maputo at 14h45 to arrive in Nairobi at 19h50.
The additional capacity is aimed at meeting the rising travel demand to the Southern Africa country, while allowing its customers in Mozambique to take advantage of the airline’s growing route network.
