Jambojet has recorded an increase in passengers flying with the airline by 23 percent to 779,000 in the nine months to September 2023, coming from a recovering aviation sector.
This is compared to the 599,830 recorded by the low-cost airline in the same period last year, between January and September 2022.
Jambojet attributed the growth to the increase in flight frequencies across key routes amid growing demand for air travel.
Jambojet Managing Director and CEO Karanja Ndegwa noted that the Airline is committed to providing a reliable, affordable service and adhering to the highest safety standards while offering products and services that respond to customer needs.
According to a recent survey conducted by Jambojet revealed that 53 percent of passengers travel for business and 23 percent for leisure.

The remaining percentages include 1 percent for medical reasons, 17 percent for visiting family and friends, and 4 percent for studies.
Notably, the percentage of first-time passengers on Jambojet increased by 44% from 30% in 2014.
Currently, the airline offers nine daily frequencies between Nairobi and Mombasa, five between Kisumu and Eldoret, four or five between Malindi and Diani, and just one between Lamu and Nairobi.
Additionally, the airline offers daily direct flights between Mombasa, Kisumu, and Eldoret and four weekly flights from Nairobi to Goma in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
“When we initially started Jambojet we set out on a mission to open up the skies and grow the numbers of those traveling by air. Nine years later, 44% of the flying population in Kenya flew for the first time with Jambojet,” Karanja said.
