On July 15, 2020, Jambojet, a subsidiary of Kenya Airways, 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 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 to slow the spread of COVID-19.
However, the dusk-to-dawn curfew remains in place, which may pose challenges for 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).
