Allan Kilavuka, KQ Group Managing Director and CEO, expressed excitement about the airline’s 45th destination: “Today’s launch is a tangible testament to KQ’s remarkable progress and the exciting future ahead. As we unveil Maputo, we mark a major milestone in our network expansion journey.”
The new route will complement KQ’s existing services in Nampula, Mozambique, enhancing travel options and connectivity within the region.
Julius Thairu, KQ Chief Commercial and Customer Officer, highlighted the airline’s mission to propel Africa’s prosperity: “The demand for air travel is soaring, and we’re determined to meet it by expanding our reach and fostering connections between Africa’s rich cultures and thriving economies. Adding Maputo to our network strengthens ties between Kenya and Mozambique, opening doors for increased trade, tourism, and cultural exchange.”
Aviation plays a critical role in boosting national GDPs, creating jobs, and stimulating economic activity. Kilavuka emphasized, “Increased intra-African travel will act as a catalyst for economic development across the continent.”
