AirAsia X is expected to launch its latest destination to Africa soon as part of its expansion plan. The low-cost medium to long-haul carrier’s new African destination is Kenya and it is expected to offer 4 times weekly flights between Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and Nairobi (NBO).
According to Aeroroutes, AirAsia X will serve the route starting 15th November 2024 with the Airbus A330-300 aircraft. Two direct flights have been scheduled with D7101 from KUL to NBO, departing at 1900, and D7101 from NBO to KUL, departing at 0030. The flight takes approximately 9-10 hours, significantly shorter than other alternatives requiring a layover.
