Kenya Airways plans to resume flights to New Delhi next year to tap the growing traffic on India-Africa routes.

"We would like to launch flights next year. We are in discussion with the Delhi airport," said Kenya Airways Chief Executive Officer Sebastian  Mikosz on the sidelines of IATA event in Delhi.

At present, Kenya Airways flies double daily to Mumbai. In 2012, it introduced a flight between Nairobi-Delhi, but withdrew the service later due to rising costs. Currently, no Indian carrier flies to Africa.
