Air France expands Nairobi flights as it ramps up its global network for summer
Air France is increasing capacity on its Nairobi route as part of its 2026 summer schedule, reinforcing Kenya’s role as a strategic aviation gateway linking Africa to Europe, Asia and the Americas amid recovering and shifting global travel demand.
The airline said it will serve close to 170 destinations across 73 countries during the summer season, with long-haul capacity rising by 2 per cent compared with 2025, driven largely by demand across intercontinental routes. Nairobi is among the cities where the airline is deploying additional capacity, alongside major Asian destinations such as Tokyo, Singapore and Bangkok, as carriers adjust networks to reflect changing passenger flows and geopolitical disruptions affecting Middle East routes.
