Jambojet has added a new aircraft to its fleet to meet the growing demand for air travel bringing its total fleet of aeroplanes serving various local and international routes to eight.
With tail number 5Y-JXL, the aircraft underwent inspections, acceptance tests, registrations, and maintenance in Calgary, Canada.
It travelled 14,650 kilometres to Nairobi, stopping for technical reasons and at night in Thunder Bay, Goose Bay, Keflavik, Exeter, Malta, Marsa Allam, and Addis Abeba.
“We are thrilled to welcome Kozi to our fleet, which will ensure we address the growing market needs, allowing us to add frequencies in some of our destinations,” Jambojet CEO Karanja Ndegwa said.
“This is a show of our commitment to providing safe, affordable, reliable experience, with convenient schedules and exceptional customer service.”
