OAKVILLE, Ont. – Burger King Europe GmbH closed a multi-country development deal in sub-Saharan Africa with Servair Inc., a subsidiary of Air France and a member of gategroup, a leading independent provider of airline catering, hospitality and logistics.
The new agreement will expand the footprint of the Burger King brand in Ivory Coast and Kenya as well as several new markets in Sub-Saharan Africa. The two companies previously have collaborated to open the first Burger King restaurants in Kenya and Ivory Coast.

The Burger King system operates more than 15,000 locations in more than 100 countries and United States territories.
