Skyward unveils first direct flights between JKIA and Mombasa Airport

NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 28 – Skyward Express on Thursday unveiled its first direct flights from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to Moi International Airport, Mombasa. The carrier, which normally operates from Wilson Airport on various routes, will be flying to the coastal town twice a day. “We’re thrilled to announce that we now offer flights from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport Terminal 2 to Moi International Airport Mombasa,” Skyward Express posted on its X page in an event that was led by Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen. The airline has recently introduced more flights to different destinations in the country amid growing demand for air travel. The low-cost carrier, for example, introduced flights between Nairobi and Kitale on June 30, 2023, as demand on the route ballooned. Later, in September 2023, the airline began flights between Nairobi and Migori in efforts to expand its network across Western Kenya. It also entered the Nairobi-Kakamega route subsequently.
