Kenyan low-cost airline Jambojet will resume flights between Nairobi and Entebbe on 1 October 2026, returning to the Ugandan market after a six-year hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The airline will operate a daily passenger service on the route, alongside cargo and parcel services. One-way fares are expected to start at approximately US$170. Jambojet Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Karanja Ndegwa said the return forms part of the carrier’s strategy to strengthen regional connectivity and make air travel more accessible across East Africa. “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,” Ndegwa said. The Nairobi–Entebbe corridor is projected to carry about 300,000 passengers in 2026. The service is also expected to give Ugandan travellers easier access to Kenya’s coastal destinations such as Mombasa, Diani, Malindi and Lamu. The announcement was made during a stakeholder engagement in Kampala attended by representatives from government, tourism, travel agencies and the business community. The Uganda Association of Travel Agents welcomed the return, noting growing momentum in regional travel and trade. Jambojet has expanded its fleet to 11 aircraft and recently marked carrying its 10 millionth passenger. The airline reported an on-time performance of 86.45 percent in July 2026. The resumption adds another option on a competitive route already served by Kenya Airways, Uganda Airlines and other carriers, potentially increasing choice and pressure on fares for travellers between the two East African capitals. King Musah Media will continue tracking developments in regional air connectivity.
