JAMBOJET PUBLISHES SCHEDULE AS IT IS 17 DAYS AND COUNTING TO LAUNCH

(Posted 13th March 2014)

Kenya’s latest aviation kid on the block, Jambojet, has now published their launch schedule for flights from Nairobi to Mombasa, Eldoret and Kisumu.

According to the details obtained will the airline fly between 5 and 6 times a day from the Kenyan capital to the Indian Ocean port city of Mombasa, twice a day from Nairobi to Kisumu and up to 13 times a week from Nairobi to Eldoret (some of the return flights to Nairobi will route via Kisumu), and vice versa of course.

*Please note that these schedules may be subject to change.

The airline has, since going ‘live’ on the reservation systems on the 27th of February, raked in some 15.000 bookings and in a clear sign of positively impacting the market in Kenya, generated nearly 40.000 ‘likes’ and perhaps even more important, nearly 13.000 ‘talking about this’ on their Facebook page, with more and more ‘coming on board’ ahead of the flight launch on 01st of April.

One regular source in fact already created the April’s Fools Day joke of the year when writing in advance what he will say to a friend in Mombasa on the 01st of April ‘I just flew in from Nairobi at a price of 2.850 Kenya Shillings’, which of course will be the truth no matter how unbelievable it may sound. (2.850 Kenya Shillings is the equivalent of about 32 US Dollars).

Aviation observers are now awaiting word from Kenya Airways about their new schedule come 01st of April, as it is obvious that – while they already announced the suspension of flights to Eldoret – there is more to come in regard of downsizing their own flights from Nairobi to Mombasa and Kisumu to ‘make way’ for the flights of their in house low cost carrier Jambojet.
