Kenya Airways' new direct flight from London Gatwick is set to take flight this July; British Airways has also confirmed it is increasing its service from Heathrow in June, doubling from July 28th
The new service from Gatwick will operate three times a week to Jomo Kenyatta International from July 2nd, 2025, less than a month after Heathrow's direct service earns a twice-weekly boost, offering a total of seven flights a week from June 7th, 2025. From July 14th, that service will offer 10 flights a week before an 11th joins the service from July 28th.
British Airways has already given the service a boost this year, upgrading it from the smaller Boeing 787-7 to an Airbus A350-1000, offering an extra 184 seats on each service.
