Jambojet Feted As Leading Low-Cost Airline In Africa

Jambojet has been awarded Leading Low-Cost Airline in Africa-2024, marking an impressive third consecutive year of recognition by the prestigious World Travel Awards.

Speaking during the award ceremony on Friday at Diamonds Leisure Beach & Golf Resort in Diani, CEO & Managing Director, Karanja Ndegwa affirmed that the win serves as a testament to the airline’s unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional quality service through continuous improvement and innovation.

“This remarkable achievement is testament to our ongoing commitment to provide safe, reliable and accessible air travel across the region. Our customers are the heartbeat of what we do, and for the last ten years, they have consistently chosen Jambojet as their preferred airline. To be recognized as Africa’s Leading Low-Cost Carriers three times in a row is extraordinary, and comes at the right time, as we mark 10 years in operations, eye further expansion across the region and advancing our global strategy”, he said.

The World Travel Award comes on the back of another successful year for Jambojet, who celebrated a decade in the skies earlier in the year. In July, the airline also inaugurated direct flights from Mombasa to Zanzibar, marking its second regional destination, after the launch of direct flights from Nairobi to Goma (Eastern DRC) in 2021.

“We will continue to pursue our growth strategy across the region of serving the unserved and underserved markets, by adding additional routes and more frequencies to our existing routes, giving our customers more to choose from, while also optimizing our operations,” added Mr. Ndegwa.

Earlier this year, Jambojet was recognized by global aviation publication, ch-aviation for having Africa’s Second Youngest Fleet with an average age of 5.23 years. The airline is banking on its increased investment in its fleet, to boost its network footprint and adding more frequencies on its existing routes.
