Gaborone, Jul 06, 2009 (The Nation/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX) -- KNYAF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Kenya Airways (KQ) is expected to launch a direct flight between Nairobi and Gaborone in the next four weeks, press reports say.

Botswana private weekly, The Monitor reported on Monday that Kenya Airways officials are expected to hold a press conference in Gaborone on Tuesday (7-7-2009) about the development.

The paper said Kenya Airways plan to operate three flights a week between Nairobi and Gaborone. It reported that the Nairobi-Gaborone route is one of several routes that Kenya Airways want to introduce after it acquired a new Boeing aircraft.

The Gaborone route is tentatively scheduled to be launched in the next three weeks, subject to the timely delivery of the new aircraft. Last year, Kenya Airways established a sales and ticketing office in Gaborone.

Direct flights between Nairobi and Gaborone by Air Botswana and Kenya Airways were halted in the 1990s due to un-profitability. Kenya and Botswana has been trying to revive the flights since 2000.

The Monitor reported that Kenya Airways is looking at the Johannesburg-Gaborone route, which is currently operated by Air Botswana, South African Airways (SAA) and South African Express.

It is said that Kenya Airways has ambitious plans to launch flights from all the African capitals to save the continent's travelers the inconvenience of multiple connecting flights.
