About Pan African Airline

Pan African Airline is a new startup Kenyan airline. Kenyan president, Uhuru Kenyatta, announced on New Year's Eve 2021 that a new Kenyan airline — Pan African Airline — would be set to launch in 2023. The new airline is being established as a joint partnership between two airlines, Kenya Airways (Kenya’s national flag carrier) and South African Airways. The partnership came about because both these airlines are looking to expand their global coverage as well as encourage greater tourism to and within African countries. The airline will likely share two two hubs, between Johannesburg in South Africa and Nairobi, Kenya.
