  • Chief executive Willem Hondius said the airline had high ticket sales ahead of the Easter season with demand heaviest on the Nairobi-Mombasa route.

Jambojet, the low-cost carrier launched earlier in the month, has revamped its online portal with new flight booking features, as domestic ticket sales surge.

Chief executive Willem Hondius said the airline had high ticket sales ahead of the Easter season with demand heaviest on the Nairobi-Mombasa route.

“We have seen bookings continue to grow steadily. A lot of the Easter flights were packed though there were still many late bookings.

“However, we are continuously communicating to customers to book early so they can enjoy the benefits of budget flying,” said Mr Hondius.

The airline has now enhanced its booking engine and reservations systems. 

“With the enhanced platform, passengers can see the choice of flight timings, plus it is a quick and easy way to compare fares for different timings.

Booking online is very easy, cost effective and efficient,” said Mr Hondius.
