Air France has announced that its customers will be able to fly to Nairobi (Kenya) on departure from Paris-Charles de Gaulle from March next year.

The new flight will be three times weekly.

Flights will be operated by the latest-generation Boeing 787.

The jet is equipped with 30 seats in Business class, 21 seats in Premium Economy class and 225 seats in Economy class.

These flights will be operated on a code-share basis with partner Kenya Airways.

This means that customers will benefit from 10 weekly non-stop frequencies between Paris and Nairobi.

 Three flights will be operated by Air France and 7 flights operated by Kenya Airways. 

This new Air France service is in addition to that of KLM, which operates a daily service between Amsterdam-Schiphol and Nairobi by Boeing 787.
