Delta-marketed codeshare flights will also be available on Kenya Airways\u2019 services from Nairobi to Cape Town, South Africa; Harare, Zimbabwe; and Kigali, Rwanda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>See also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/06\/delta-aims-to-hire-over-1000-pilots.html\">Delta aims to hire over 1,000 pilots by next summer.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From New York-JFK, Kenya Airways has placed its code on Delta\u2019s services to Washington\u2019s Ronald Reagan National Airport, offering customers increased access to the U.S. capital, as well as to Indianapolis, Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDelta is the leading U.S. airline in Africa.

In addition to Washington\u2019s Ronald Reagan National Airport and Indianapolis, Indiana, other destinations we have within the codeshare are New York: Chicago O\u2019Hare \u2013 Illinois, Denver
