The world has just gotten a little smaller with AirAsia X’s announcement of its newest destination – Nairobi, Kenya. This milestone marks the low-cost carrier’s first on the African continent, known for its rich history, culture and wildlife. With a flight time of approximately 9 hours from Kuala Lumpur’s KLIA to Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, this exciting new spot opens up many thrilling possibilities such as wildlife safaris that bring you up close to the BIG 5 – lions, leopards, African buffalos, elephants, and rhinoceros in their natural environment, and experiencing a few days in a Maasai tribal village.
If the excitement is already building to fever pitch and the travel ideas buzzing around, mark your calendars for the 15 November 2024, when the inaugural flight is scheduled to take to the skies. There will be 4 weekly flights with Airbus A330-300 aircraft with the following air routes:
D7101 KUL1900 – 2300NBO 333 x246
D7102 NBO0030 – 1510KUL 333 x357
This 2-way leg is primed to open up a crucial link between Kenya and 130 destinations across Southeast Asia, Northern and Central Asia, and Australia, as well as provide a gateway into the rest of the vast continent. To facilitate as seamless a connection as possible, AirAsia X offers Fly-Thru connection, a service that conveniently connects your flights from one AirAsia flight to another without the hassle of collecting your bags at the transit hub, even between international and domestic destinations.
