Kenya Airways has recognized its top-performing travel agency partners as the airline advances an ambitious expansion strategy aimed at growing its fleet from 32 aircraft today to 100 by 2035.
As part of the plan, the national carrier expects to increase its fleet to 67 aircraft by 2030, supporting projected passenger growth from 5.2 million to 9 million annually. The expansion comes as Kenya Airways continues rebuilding capacity, including the recent return of its Boeing 777-300ER to the Nairobi–London Heathrow route after a decade.
Speaking during the awards ceremony, Acting Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Capt. George Kamal highlighted the critical role travel agencies play in the airline’s growth, noting that they generate around 60% of Kenya Airways’ domestic passenger revenue.
He added that the airline’s long-term expansion plans will rely on stronger collaboration with travel agency partners, whose growth remains closely linked to the success of Kenya Airways as it approaches its 50th anniversary.
The awards recognized outstanding travel agency performance during the 2025 calendar year across 35 categories, celebrating excellence in revenue generation, market share, regional sales performance and year-on-year growth.
