Leading domestic air carrier, Jambojet, has been ranked as the 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, Jambojet CEO & Managing Director, Mr Karanja Ndegwa, said the win is testament to the airline’s commitment to delivering exceptional quality service through continuous improvement and innovation.

“This remarkable achievement is a result of our ongoing commitment to provide safe, reliable and accessible air travel across the region,” Mr Ndegwa said. “To be recognised as Africa’s leading low-cost carrier 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.”

The World Travel Award comes on the back of another successful year for Jambojet, which 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 recognised 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 add more frequencies on its existing routes.
