Milestone: Jambojet Carries One Millionth Passenger

Chidozie Uzoezie


Nairobi based Jambojet, the low cost brand of Kenya Airways, has set a regional record of handling one million customers in less than two years.


In a feat that indicates the increasing popularity of the concept of low-cost flying, the milestone has come barely two months to the company’s second year anniversary.


During the first year, the domestic market grew by 25% in passenger numbers. This year the Jambojet passenger numbers increased by 18% compared to last year.


The demand in all routes has grown tremendously as reflected in the number of round trips this year which is at 3,312 flights up to date as opposed to 2,522 last year.


Commenting on the milestone, Jambojet CEO Willem Hondius attributed the immense growth to the low fares on offer, the excellent customer service and clear timings for the economy growth tickers in the various destinations.


The bold move by Jambojet last year to tap into the coastal tourism circuit of Lamu, Malindi and Ukunda has contributed to the immense growth of passenger numbers in the coastal archipelago. During the past period, the total number of passengers travelling to these three destinations together went up by 71% compared to the previous year.


Jambojet's load factor - a key measure indicating how many seats flown were actually occupied increased by 10 percentage points to 77%.


This is the first time ever that any regional operator in Kenya has carried over one million customers within two years of operation,” said Willem Hondius.

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.

I am really tempted to book the next ethiopian airlines ticket and relive your journey. The pictures shared with the post also reflect that you truly enjoyed the travel. Great post! I also like the fact that you have covered nuances about the food and entertainment service through the pictures. It helps people know what to expect on their travel by this airline.
