On August 18, 2019, Fly 540 applied for an air service licence from the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) to expand its domestic route offering.

The airline plans to include Nanyuki, Meru, Amboseli, Lewa, Isiolo, Samburu, and Moyale in its route network, which would increase transport options for tourists and business travelers.

According to a Gazette notice by KCAA, any representation in favor of or against the application should be made in writing to the Director-General within 21 days from the date of publication.

By 2017, Fly 540 and its sister airline East African Safari Air Express had set up offices at Isiolo International Airport ahead of its opening for domestic flights.

Should Fly 540 launch its services along the new routes, it would likely increase the transport options for tourists and business traveling to the destinations.

Kenya Airways (KQ) received an air service licence in July, paving the way for its expansion of new domestic flight routes in the future.
