Kenya Airways scaling back Asia routes
Kenya Airways is halting services to Hanoi and Hong Kong from next month.
The underperforming routes will be scrapped and aircraft will be deployed on its African network.
"This network change will also allow KQ to allocate more seats across its African network where the demand outlook remains strong and capacity insufficient on certain routes," the airline said.
The carrier also said those jets could be later used on upcoming direct flights to the US next year.
Customers flying to Hanoi and Hong Kong will be rerouted through Kenya Airways’ partners.
The airline will continue flying daily to Bangkok and Guangzhou.
"Kenya Airways is constantly assessing its network in order to position its fleet where there is strong demand. With markets’ demand constantly changing, KQ is becoming more agile with this exercise," Vincent Coste, Kenya Airways commercial director said.
