Abu Dhabi: In an attempt to expand its reach across Africa, Etihad Airways said on Thursday it has signed a strategic commercial partnership agreement with Kenya Airways, the national flag carrier of Kenya.
As a part of the agreement, Kenya Airways will also launch a new three times a week service between Nairobi and Abu Dhabi from mid-summer 2013, Etihad said in a statement.
“This agreement will also allow both airlines to benefit from cost savings achieved through synergies and economies of scale,” James Hogan, Etihad Airways President and CEO, said in a statement.
