Kenya Airways, the flag carrier airline of Kenya, operates daily direct flights between Paris' Charles De Gaulle Airport and Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.  The daily flight, operated by Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, departs Charles De Gaulle at 10:50 hours, arriving into Nairobi at 20:55 hours.  Return flights to Paris depart at 23:50 hours, arriving at 06:30 the following morning.

Kenya Airways also operates flights from London, Amsterdam, Geneva and Rome to Nairobi. Thanks to its Joint Venture and code-share partnership with AIR FRANCE-KLM, Kenya and some 40 destinations in Africa and the Indian Ocean are also accessible to customers from all over France.

The new set-up is headed by Jean Michel Bohn, TAL Aviation's Country Manager France who commented “We are delighted to participate in the new strategy by bringing our local know-how while sharing the vision of Kenya Airways. We are looking forward to not only increasing sales on the direct flight to Nairobi, but also offering our French customers, the vast connecting opportunities to other destinations within Africa and beyond".

“This is a new step in Kenya Airways’ development strategy in France. Many customers and travel agent partners requested us for more simplification and direct contact with the Company. This is now reality!  The appointment of TAL AVIATION will allow us to pursue the implementation of Kenya Airways' sales and distribution strategy in one of our most important markets. There are, still today, many unexploited opportunities and we believe that the dynamic team of TAL AVIATION is well placed to conquer new market shares, promote all of our products, and will actively participate in the implementation of new services, which will benefit our customers, and which will be revealed in the coming months… “ says José Munos, Sales Director Southern Europe of Kenya Airways.

Kenya Airways and TAL Aviation forged their partnership earlier last month, with the representation of the carrier's cargo services under the umbrella of TAL Aviation's Ivory Coast team.
