Hartman Quarterly: "KLM Strengthening Its Joint Venture With Kenya Airways"?

The 'Hartman Quarterly' in the June 2012 edition of the Holland Herald included:

This sounds like good news, especially for those of us who regularly travel between Europe and Africa. However, does anyone have any insights into what it actually means? I can't find any news articles giving more details of this, and even into 2013 the GDS just shows each airline operating 1 daily flight in each direction (KL565/566 by 747; KQ116/117 by 763), with pretty much the same schedule as they've been running for at least the last 10-12 years. So, in what way are they 'improving connections'?
