China Southern Airlines to fly to Nairobi starting August.
Return ticket to Guangzhou from Kenya will cost Sh74,603 ($762) tax inclusive on economy class. The airline is set to provide competition for struggling Kenya Airways which also makes direct flights to the city at Sh119,795.
Now, would I spend an extra sh 45k in the name of being patriotic?
Special Offer - Do you remember the KQ flights at $45, $46, $47, etc when they used to launch new routes? [Then shut the routes down when they found them unprofitable!] Those initial fares were promotional fares.
It is likely that KQ & CSA will end up having similar fares.
