Jambojet Resumes Daily Nairobi-Entebbe Flights
By Kass Digital | NAIROBI,
Regional low-cost airline Jambojet has resumed daily flights between Nairobi and Entebbe, Uganda, reopening the route after previously operating it from 2018.
The airline says the 65-minute service will offer one-way fares starting at Ksh22,950 and is expected to boost business, trade, tourism and movement between Kenya and Uganda.
Speaking during the launch, Jambojet CEO and Managing Director Karanja Ndegwa said the airline’s return to Entebbe reflects growing demand for reliable regional connectivity.
“We are returning to Entebbe with the experience we gained from our first chapter on the route, a densified network and a clear ambition to make regional travel more accessible and reliable.”
The service will also provide Ugandan travellers with onward connections to destinations in Jambojet’s Kenyan network, including Mombasa, Diani, Malindi and Lamu.
Kenya Tourism Board CEO June Chepkemei welcomed the resumption, saying the service will make it easier for travellers to experience destinations in both countries.
“This Entebbe–Nairobi service will make it easier for visitors to combine experiences across our two countries,” Chepkemei said.
She said improved air connectivity would provide travellers with greater choice and flexibility while supporting tourism growth in the region.
Principal Secretary for Aviation and Aerospace Development Teresia Mbaika said the new service will strengthen Kenya’s position as a regional aviation hub.
“We are celebrating the opening of another gateway through which people can travel, businesses can thrive, investors can explore opportunities, and tourists can discover our region,” Mbaika said.
Jambojet Board Director Patricia Ithau said the airline’s expansion into regional markets is part of its broader ambition to connect more people and businesses across East Africa.
The airline will initially operate one flight daily, with plans to increase frequencies depending on demand.
