KQ inks deal with Jambojet to boost market share

Kenya Airways has signed a codeshare agreement with its low cost subsidiary Jambojet for local routes in a bid to strengthen its share of the local market.

The national carrier announced Monday that it would put the ‘KQ’ designator code on the Jambojet flights to Malindi, Lamu, Ukunda (Diani) and Eldoret, allowing Kenya Airways to sell the Jambojet network to passengers coming from across the world. The deal will free the national carrier to focus its domestic operations on Mombasa and Kisumu.
