The newly introduced Economy Comfort Seats will offer more Space of up to 8cm extra legroom compared to the rest of the Economy Class Cabin and other travel extras such as complimentary amenity kit, special pillows and a dedicated overhead cabin for guests’ carry-on luggage.

To enhance the experience of visitors hoping to explore Kenya, the airline has signed a partnership with Safarilink, a local carrier which will allow tour operators and travel agencies create unique holiday packages. This move will aid the growing number of tourists from Rome who are interested in exploring and having an adventure and experience of the continent.
