British carrier Virgin Atlantic has inked a codeshare agreement with Kenya Airways (KQ) aimed at expanding their reach in the domestic, Africa and international markets.

The agreement, which was signed on Thursday, will make it easy for Virgin Atlantic to place its code on Kenya Airways' London flights, providing passengers with seamless access to KQ's extensive network of destinations in Africa and beyond, the two airlines said.
