Regional low-cost carrier Jambojet has announced a 72-hour sale, offering 10,000 seats at a discounted rate of Sh2,100 one-way to usher in the New Year.

The three-day sale which is part of the #NowTravelReady campaign will run from January 5 to 7, 2021.

According to a press statement yesterday, the tickets will be valid for local travel between 11th January and 20th March 2021.

The Jambojet Head of Sales and Marketing, Titus Oboogi said throughout 2020, they provided their customers with attractive incentives to encourage them to fly in the new normal.

"As we start the new year, we remain committed to providing affordable, safe and reliable experience with the customer at the centre of everything we do,” noted Oboogi.

He said the offer applies to Jambojet’s domestic destinations namely Mombasa, Eldoret, Kisumu, Malindi and Ukunda (Diani) and from its hub in Nairobi.

The airline recently launched direct flights from Mombasa to Eldoret and Kisumu, as well as charter services in line with its strategic growth plan.

“We continuously listen to our customers’ needs and are happy that we can now connect the Western region to the Coast region with the introduction of these direct flights,” Oboogi said.
