Skyward will introduce flights between Nairobi and Kitale that will start at Wilson Airport in Nairobi every day from June 30, 2023, as demand on the route grows.

The Low-cost carrier operates flights to Mombasa, Diani, Lamu, Malindi, Lodwar, Eldoret, and Kakamega.

It will deploy a Dash8-Q100 aircraft type and charge Kes 6,900 on a one-way route.

Skyward’s expansion comes when the local and international aviation industries recover from an induced impact caused by flight cancellations and the closure of borders to prevent the spread of the virus.

Only in December did the carrier introduce flights between Nairobi and Kakamega, reducing travel time between the two cities.
