Accessible Travel Kenya Is Now Kenya Airways’ Official KQ Ezesha Ground Transfers Partner
Accessible Travel Kenya has been named the official ground transfers partner for Kenya Airways’ KQ Ezesha accessibility programme — bringing discounted, wheelchair-accessible airport transfers to travellers flying KQ under its Persons with Disabilities (PWD) initiative.
What Is KQ Ezesha?
KQ Ezesha — meaning “to validate and empower” — is Kenya Airways’ dedicated accessibility programme, built around three pillars: affordable travel, accessible transfers, and global inclusion. Through Ezesha, eligible travellers with disabilities get:
- Up to 18% off international flights and 10% off domestic flights
- Dedicated support from booking through boarding
- Access to a wider accessible travel ecosystem — ground transport, hotels, and tour operators — so the journey stays accessible well beyond the aircraft door
Kenya Airways built Ezesha specifically to address a well-documented gap: studies show a large share of persons with disabilities avoid flying altogether because of cost, limited accessibility, and inadequate support — not because they don’t want to travel, but because the system hasn’t made it easy or dignified.
What This Partnership Means for Travellers
As KQ Ezesha’s official ground transfers partner, Accessible Travel Kenya now offers eligible KQ Ezesha travellers 10% off wheelchair-accessible airport transfers.
In practice, this means a traveller flying Kenya Airways under the Ezesha programme can arrange:
- Wheelchair-accessible airport transfers to and from JKIA, using vehicles fitted with ramps or swivel seats
- A discounted rate on those transfers, as part of the Ezesha benefits package
- The same fleet used across Accessible Travel Kenya’s services — Toyota Voxy, Noah, Sienta, Esquire, and a 4×4 Land Cruiser — so the vehicle can be matched to the traveller’s specific mobility needs
This closes a gap that’s long existed in air travel accessibility: airlines have gotten much better at in-flight PRM support — wheelchair assistance, priority boarding, trained crew — but that support has traditionally stopped at the aircraft door. Ezesha’s ground transfers partnership with Accessible Travel Kenya extends the accessible journey from the airport onward, not just to it.
How to Access the Discount
- Apply for KQ Ezesha eligibility through Kenya Airways’ Customer Travel Office (CTO) or Airport Travel Office (ATO), available across East Africa.
- Book your Kenya Airways flight as part of the Ezesha programme.
- Arrange your accessible ground transfer through Accessible Travel Kenya, quoting your Ezesha eligibility to access the 10% discount.

Why This Partnership Matters
This partnership was publicly demonstrated at a World Disability Day airport activation, bringing together Kenya Airways, the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA), Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), and other partners to showcase live, accessible transfer demonstrations and discuss policy around inclusive travel in Kenya.
For Accessible Travel Kenya, this builds directly on existing work with Safarilink on Wilson Airport transfers — extending disability-friendly ground transport to Kenya’s national carrier and its international network, and reinforcing a simple point: accessible air travel isn’t complete until the ground journey is accessible too.
