Kenya Airways’ low-cost subsidiary, Jambo Jet, recently received its first route licences from the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority and is looking to commence operations by the end of the year.
The airline plans to operate six domestic and 16 international routes within Africa from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport operating a fleet of B737 aircraft.
It plans to operate domestically across Kenya and internationally to Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Burundi, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Comoros Islands and Mayotte. The launch of Jambo will not affect Kenya Airways’ services to and from South Africa.
