On July 15, 2020, low-cost carrier Jambojet will resume flights to five local destinations after the government lifted a ban on movement in and out of Nairobi, Mombasa, and Mandera counties.
The airline, a subsidiary of Kenya Airways, will operate three daily flights to Mombasa, two to Kisumu, two to Eldoret, one to Malindi, and four weekly flights to Diani.
The decision comes after President Uhuru Kenyatta moved to reopen the economy by lifting a ban on road, air, and rail travel across the country, which was in place to slow the spread of Covid-19.
However, the dusk-to-dawn curfew is still in place, and it's unclear how this will affect the aviation industry, as many airlines operate flights at night.
Kenya Railways has also asked passengers to be patient as it prepares a new operational schedule for the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR).
