Renegade Air has unveiled its first flight serving the Nairobi-Homabay route, with tickets starting at as little as Kes7,600 to tap into new market areas.
The low-cost airline's Bombardier Dash 8-Q300 will depart from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to Homabay Kabunde airstrip every Monday, Friday, and Sunday, and vice versa.
Homabay Governor Gladys Wanga confirmed on her Twitter page that the County is ready to take the flight.

Last month, Renegade conducted a flight check at the Kabunde airstrip to prepare for the inaugural flight.
“Yesterday, Fly Renegade Air explored Kabunde airstrip, preparing for our inaugural flight on June 12th, 2023,” Renegade said.
“Exciting times ahead as we open up Homabay County to the world, creating opportunities and connecting communities. Stay tuned for updates!”
On his part, Kipchumba Murkomen lauded the return of commercial flights to Homa Bay County.
