Which frequent flyer program is Kenya Airways?

Africa's most-awaited loyalty program, the all-new Asante Rewards takes you further, earning miles on Kenya Airways and SkyTeam member airlines' flights that can be redeemed for travel across SkyTeam's network. Sign up and enjoy exclusive benefits in the air and at the airport.



Kenya Airways is a prominent member of the SkyTeam global alliance, and its official frequent flyer program is called Flying Blue. This is a shared loyalty program with Air France and KLM, which allows for deep integration and seamless rewards across all three carriers. In 2026, members can earn and redeem "Miles" and "XP" (Experience Points) on Kenya Airways flights, as well as on any SkyTeam partner including Delta, ITA Airways, and Virgin Atlantic. Within the Flying Blue structure, there are four tiers: Explorer, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. High-tier members (Elite Plus) gain access to premium benefits such as the Pride Lounge and Simba Lounge at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, extra baggage allowances, and priority boarding. This partnership makes Kenya Airways a particularly attractive option for European and North American travelers who can leverage their existing Air France or KLM status while exploring the African continent via the "Pride of Africa" network.
