Budget airline Jambojet has announced that it will commence flights to Kigali, Rwanda and Mogadishu, Somalia in November.
The entry into the Kigali route makes Jambojet the only low -cost airline to operate the route from Nairobi. The company received approval to fly to Kigali in September this year.
The company has started selling flight tickets to the two cities in anticipation of the maiden flights in November. The airline will operate the two flights from its hub at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi.
