Kenya Airways has launched KQSafari Data, a revolutionary roaming solution that gives guests affordable, seamless and reliable mobile connectivity worldwide. This game changing service was unveiled through a partnership with RoamBuddy, a major step towards changing the travel experience for our passengers.
A Solution to High Roaming Charges
The launch event saw the signing of a contract between Julius Thairu, Chief Customer and Commercial Officer at Kenya Airways, and Mandeep Birdi, Chief Executive Officer of RoamBuddy. KQSafari Data was born out of the Kenya Airways Open Innovation Challenge and was developed by the Fahari Innovation Hub, a hub for innovative solutions. It addresses the biggest pain point of expensive and inefficient mobile roaming.
With over 2,250 roaming plans in over 180 countries, KQSafari Data allows passengers to stay connected with flexible Country, Regional and Global packages at a fraction of the traditional roaming costs.
Enhancing the Journey
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Julius Thairu said: “Our guests deserve more than just a flight. They deserve a connected journey that is seamless, affordable and stress free. KQSafari Data allows them to stay in touch with loved ones and businesses across the globe without worrying about high roaming charges. This is a customer first innovation that reflects our commitment to the entire journey.”
The service is designed to give our guests convenience and peace of mind, making global connectivity easier and more affordable than ever before.
Collaboration for Innovation
Mandeep Birdi, CEO of RoamBuddy, added: “This partnership with Kenya Airways shows the power of collaboration in delivering solutions for travelers. Together we are redefining how customers connect when they travel abroad, making it convenient, affordable and stress free.”
Customer Centricity
KQSafari Data is more than just a product launch, it’s a demonstration of Kenya Airways’ commitment to innovation, customer centricity and value creation. It also highlights the role of the Fahari Innovation Hub in turning bold ideas into real world solutions that benefit travelers across Africa and beyond.
