Skyward Express has launched its first direct flights from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to Moi International Airport, Mombasa.

Speaking on Thursday on its X page, the carrier said it will fly to Mombasa twice daily in an event attended by Transport Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kipchumba Murkomen.

 “We’re thrilled to announce that we now offer flights from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport Terminal 2 to Moi International Airport Mombasa.”

 The airline has recently introduced more flights to different destinations in the country amid growing demand for air travel.

The low-cost carrier, for example, introduced flights between Nairobi and Kitale on June 30, 2023, as demand on the route ballooned.

 Later, in September 2023, the airline began flights between Nairobi and Migori in efforts to expand its network across Western Kenya. It also entered the Nairobi-Kakamega route subsequently.
