AirAsia targets 3 African destinations

Cairo (CAI, Egypt), Cape Town (South Africa), and Nairobi (NBO,Kenya) are the three destinations being targeted with all three set to be operated on using the widebody aircraft. No further news was shared as to when flights to any of the destinations will begin or the number of weekly flights to each destination. Despite this, it is encouraging and something to look forward to as more and more airlines start offering flights to Africa.
