Travellers flying between Southern and East Africa now have more flexible routing options, following a new commercial partnership between South Africa's second-largest airline by number of flights, CemAir, and Kenya Airways, the flag carrier airline of Kenya. The agreement marks a meaningful step towards improving regional air connectivity and simplifying multi-leg journeys across the two networks.
Implemented as a Special Prorate Agreement (SPA), the partnership introduces interline-style cooperation, allowing passengers to book selected connecting itineraries more seamlessly. In practical terms, this means smoother transfers, coordinated ticketing, and improved journey planning when combining flights operated by both carriers.
For travellers, the benefits are immediate: easier access to a wider range of destinations across Southern and East Africa, greater flexibility when building itineraries, and a more streamlined travel experience overall. Whether you’re connecting via key hubs or planning a multi-country trip, the collaboration enhances convenience for both leisure and business travel.
Both airlines have indicated that this agreement is only the first phase of a broader strategic relationship. Further cooperation - potentially including deeper network integration - remains under discussion, subject to regulatory and operational approvals.
The Special Prorate Agreement (SPA) is now live, offering travellers expanded options across the region.
