I had the chance to speak with Martin Gitonga, Head of Alliances and Network at Kenya Airways about their Summer 2024 schedule this last week on the AviaDev Insight Africa podcast.

Among other things, I made it a point to sneak in a question about the Asante Miles integration into Skyteam - you can check it out around 48:30 in the below link.

Bottom line summary is that IT integration is what is slowing things down. Their priorities have been to integrate with AF/KLM (done), Delta, and Virgin Atlantic. Those 4 airlines alone constituted over 90% of the partner activity (with AF/KL accounting for 80%) so the other partnerships are less critical for now.
