Airlines Jambojet expands operations
Kenya’s budget carrier Jambojet will operate a Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 fleet after the airline returned its leased B737 aircraft.
Kenya Airways’ low cost subsidiary Jambojet has announced it has returned all Boeing 737-300 which were leased from the parent company. The airline plans to expand its domestic and international network with its fleet of three new Bombardier Dash 8 Q400.
From its hub Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Jambojet increases the number of flights to 408 per month. The carrier currently connects Nairobi with Diani, Eldoret, Kisumu, Malindi and Mombasa. The no frills airline has increased its flights from Nairobi to Mombasa from 22 flights to 39 flights per week, while the Kisumu route will now have twenty flights per week up from the previous 14 flights per week.
Additionally, Jambojet has announced plans to commence international operations and connect its hub Nairobi with Entebbe in Uganda.
“We are pleased that more passengers are choosing to fly over other means of transport. The demand has been growing especially on the coastal routes, a clear indicator that Jambojet is contributing immensely to the growth of domestic tourism and the economy at large,” said Jambojet CEO, Willem Hondius.
Jambojet was founded in 2013 as the low cost subsidiary of Kenya Airways.
