Jambojet Returns to Uganda with Daily Service to Entebbe

Jambojet, East Africa’s leading low-cost carrier, will return to the Nairobi–Entebbe route, with flights scheduled to resume on 1 October 2026.

The return to Uganda marks a significant milestone in Jambojet’s regional growth strategy and reinforces the airline’s commitment to providing affordable, reliable and convenient air travel across East Africa. The route is expected to strengthen connectivity between Kenya and Uganda while supporting increased business travel, tourism and cross-border trade.

Speaking on the airline’s return to the Ugandan market, Jambojet Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mr. Karanja Ndegwa said the resumption of flights reflects the airline’s broader ambition to make air travel more accessible while strengthening regional integration.

“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,” said Ndegwa.

“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,” he added.

One-way fares start from approximately KES 22,950.

In addition to passenger services, Jambojet will introduce cargo and parcel services on the route, providing additional capacity to support the movement of goods between Uganda and Kenya and contribute to growing regional trade.

The route is therefore positioned as more than a passenger connection; it will serve as an important link between two of East Africa’s major economies, supporting the movement of people, goods and tourism traffic across the region.

The Nairobi–Entebbe air corridor continues to experience strong recovery and demand, with an estimated 300,000 passengers projected to travel between Kenya and Uganda in 2026.

Jambojet’s daily service will provide greater choice and flexibility for travellers between the two countries while also creating convenient onward connections for Ugandan passengers seeking to explore Kenya’s popular coastal destinations, including Mombasa, Diani, Malindi and Lamu.
