Skyward Express Rolls Out Services to the East African Market
For the past 11 years, Skyward Express has provided affordable air travel services domestically, serving the following destinations:
- Kitale
- Migori
- Kakamega
- Mombasa
- Diani
- Lamu
- Eldoret
- Lodwar
- Malindi
- Skyward Express now flies 3 times a week to Dar es Salaam Tanzania.
The airline flies passengers to these destinations from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport. Its cargo freight service seamlessly runs from the JKIA, East Africa’s busiest airport.
Skyward Express recently had a minor setback when it temporarily suspended its flights to Kakamega.
In an official statement, the aviation company cited the poor condition of the runway at Kakamega Airstrip as the cause of the suspension.
According to the leading domestic flight operator, Kakamega Airstrip posed safety concerns for its fleet, crew, and passengers.
Commissioned by President Ruto in December 2022, Kakamega Airstrip was designed to accommodate commercial flights, reducing the need for passengers to make stopovers in Eldoret or Kisumu.
Despite the infrastructural challenges and stiff competition from local players like Jambojet and Safari Link, Skyward Express looks to expand its coverage beyond Kenya’s borders.
The new Dar es Salaam route is expected to boost traveling convenience by presenting a new alternative, as well as grow the tourism sector and economic ties between Kenya and Tanzania.
