The agreement now offers seamless travel to 39 cities across Africa, the United States, and Canada, providing customers with increased access to destinations in South, West, and East Africa.
Delta customers flying nonstop from New York-JFK can now connect with Delta-marketed codeshare flights to Monrovia, Liberia, and Freetown, Sierra Leone, operated by Kenya Airways.
Kenya Airways has also placed its code on Delta's services to Washington's Ronald Regan National Airport and Indianapolis, Indiana, offering customers increased access to the U.S. capital and the Midwest.
