Jambojet will soon venture into various African destinations days after making inaugural flight to Entebbe, Uganda.
“We would like to serve Kenya and the greater Eastern Africa region with future plans to go into Somalia, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Rwanda and Burundi,” Jambojet chief executive Willem Hondius said.
“After proving our operations are sustainable and getting the air operators certificate, we can now go international,” Hondius added.
The daily flights to Uganda were introduced at Sh11,740, a move the CEO said meant to encourage more East Africans to travel by air with the resultant benefits boosting tourism and trade.

Jambojet’s competitive airfares, Nicholas Bodo, Uganda’s Air Transport Acting Director said, will help make ‘other airlines reevaluate their airfares.’
