Jambojet introduces charter flights
Low-cost carrier Jambojet has introduced charter flight services as part of a strategy to minimise the impact of Covid-19 on its business operations. The airline, which is a subsidiary of Kenya Airways, on Tuesday said it had launched the service to make use of aircraft lying idle since resumption of flights in July.
Jambojet will dedicate one plane for the service out of the total six. The service will be available in Kenya and across the region.
“We are targeting to fly about five times on a weekly basis on the ad hoc frequencies, but this will be mainly based on demand,” said Karanja Ndegwa, the airline’s acting managing director. Mr Ndegwa said the product will target corporates, families and individuals with a need to fly to different places but who prefer to not use regular scheduled flights.
