Africa’s Leading Low-Cost Airline, Jambojet, has marked a major milestone, flying 9 million passengers since launching operations in 2014. The airline has grown into a major player within the region, commanding 53% domestic market share, operating 11 routes across 9 destinations.
In celebration of this milestone, the airline recognized its 9 millionth passenger, Mr. David Makumi, who is a frequent flyer, and was personally congratulated by Jambojet’s CEO & MD, Mr. Karanja Ndegwa at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Mr. Makumi was awarded a fully paid holiday for two, to the airline’s newest destination, Zanzibar.
“This milestone is a testament to the unwavering commitment that our customers have placed on us for the last 11 years. Every journey flown has been a reflection of their belief and trust in our service and their willingness to choose us time and time again. We don’t take that for granted and remain committed to expanding our operations, fleet and network which will enhance the customer’s experience, by giving more value and making it More Than A Journey,” said Mr. Ndegwa.
According to a report by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), Kenya’s Travel & Tourism contributed 1.2TN to the national economy. This was a 10% year-year-on year increase. Domestic tourism alone contributed an estimated KES 528BN, a reflection of the strong and rising demand.
Looking ahead, the airline plans to increase its passenger capacity to over 1.5 million per year, adding more aircraft to its fleet by 2026 and expanding operations across the region as part of its strategic growth.
