Kenya Airways, one of the best and most respected airline companies in Africa, recently officially announced its intent to fly to Ouagadougou, capital of Burkina Faso, starting July 15, affirming its plans to grow its network across Africa. The new route, the 55th of the airline’s global destinations, will operate twice weekly every Thursday and Sunday out of Hong Kong to Ouagadougou via Nairobi.

Ougadougou is the capital and the administrative, communications, cultural, and economic center of Burkina Faso. It also has the name the “film capital of Africa” with many headquarters of big African film makers there. As an ancient capital, the city has many scenic spots worthy visiting, such as the national museum of Burkina Faso and the ancient boulevard. The country is landlocked. Its primary economic activities are food processing and textile manufacture. With more than 60 tribes, mysterious traditional customs are also a great attraction.

At present, Kenya Airways is engaging in growing its network across Africa. In 2011, the global passenger flight stops of the company will reach 60. Including code share flights, Kenya Airways has in all 12 flights connecting China and Africa a week, providing Chinese passengers the most convenient airline service. There are five code share flights each week staring from Guangzhou, capital city of Guangdong Province, flying to more than 50 African destinations.
