Air France will increase its non-stop flights between Paris and Nairobi on June 15.

Due to growing demand the airline will fly to Nairobi seven times a week, up from four flights previously.

The increase comes as the carrier celebrates its fifth anniversary on the Kenyan route.

"Air France has been here for five years, and despite hard times like the COVID-19 period, it is a clear sign that we are here to stay," said Air France-KLM East and Southern Africa GM, Marius van der Ham.

"The increase in flights also connects Kenya not only to Paris but to the rest of the world via our two hubs, Charles de Gaulle and Schiphol, which is our key contribution to Kenya's aviation sector and the larger business community."

The airline will use Boeing 787 Dreamliner and B777 aircraft on the route.

"Kenya is one of our high-interest markets, and therefore we commit to bringing our best products here for our customers," said Van der Ham.
