Kenya Airways has partnered with Safari Duty Free to introduce a new airport shopping service at JKIA.

The facility is located at Terminal 1A and is intended to make shopping easier for travellers using the airport.

The national carrier announced the launch on Friday, October 30, 2026, confirming that the service was already operational.

In its announcement, the airline said passengers would enjoy more shopping options and improved convenience through the partnership.

KQ described the development as part of its efforts to improve the overall travel experience.

What Travellers Can Expect

The new arrangement allows eligible passengers to access duty-free shopping while passing through Terminal 1A.

Such airport outlets offer travellers an opportunity to purchase selected products before continuing with their journeys.

However, Kenya Airways has not revealed the specific items available at the new outlet.

The airline has also not provided details about product prices, operating hours or shopping requirements.

Financial details of the agreement between Kenya Airways and Safari Duty Free were equally not disclosed.

KQ Adds Another Passenger Service

The launch expands the services available to passengers travelling through Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

Airport shopping provides an additional convenience for travellers, particularly those with time before departure.

Through the partnership, Kenya Airways is adding another service beyond its core airline operations.

The company has not indicated whether the duty-free arrangement will eventually cover other JKIA terminals.

Passengers seeking information about available products and prices can confirm the details with Safari Duty Free at the airport.
