Kenya Airways flights from Nairobi to Johannesburg and Cape Town are to be upgraded with a new aircraft.
The airline announced several changes to its route network for the upcoming weeks, part of which is using a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner instead of the Boeing 737-800 that is currently used.
All the direct flights to Cape Town (three per week) will be upgraded to the new aircraft from August 1.
At the same time, five of the 26 weekly flights to Johannesburg will be night flights operated with the B787-8.
The B787 offers a more comfortable passenger experience with lie-flat seats in business class and economy-class seats that have a more generous seat pitch, according to the airline.
