Our return to Uganda is a strategic step forward in our mission to strengthen regional connectivity. We see significant opportunities to support business, tourism and trade between Kenya and Uganda while providing travellers with affordable, reliable and convenient flying experience that Jambojet is known for.

Karanja Ndegwa, Jambojet's Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, described the return to Uganda as a crucial part of the airline's broader regional expansion strategy. "Our return to Uganda is a strategic step forward in our mission to strengthen regional connectivity," Ndegwa stated. "We see significant opportunities to support business, tourism and trade between Kenya and Uganda while providing travellers with affordable, reliable and convenient flying experience that Jambojet is known for."

The Nairobi-Entebbe route is positioned as a vital link between two of East Africa's key economic hubs. Beyond passenger services, Jambojet will also provide cargo and parcel services, increasing capacity for businesses transporting goods between the two nations. Ugandan travelers will gain easier access to Jambojet's network, including popular Kenyan coastal destinations like Mombasa, Diani, Malindi, and Lamu.

Making flying accessible across East Africa and beyond remains central to our mission. Uganda is an important market for Jambojet, and we are excited to reconnect the two destinations, while creating greater opportunities for travellers to connect to other destinations across our network.

Projections indicate that the Nairobi-Entebbe air corridor will transport approximately 300,000 passengers in 2026. Jambojet's increased service will add capacity and choice, supporting the recovery of regional tourism, business travel, and trade. Ahead of the launch, the airline engaged with stakeholders in Kampala, including government representatives, travel agents, and tourism and trade organizations, to discuss collaboration opportunities.
