Kenyan airline fly748.com is strengthening its engagement with Kenya’s SACCO movement as part of its strategy to meet the growing demand for domestic business and leisure travel. The airline is looking to deepen engagement with cooperative societies, investors, and their millions of members who continue to drive Kenya’s socio economic growth.

fly748.com used the Cooperative Expo Nairobi Edition 2026 to position itself as the preferred airline for both business and leisure travellers.

“The cooperative movement represents a powerful economic force with millions of members who travel for business, investment, family, and leisure. Through this Expo, we are showcasing fly748.com as a reliable airline that understands the travel needs of SACCO members, business travellers, families, and organized groups across Kenya,” said fly748.com Head of Scheduled Services, Mr George Oduor.

The carrier participated in the Expo held on Friday 29th May 2026 under the umbrella of the 748 SACCO. The Expo, organized by Credence Africa in conjunction with the Nairobi County Government, brought together key stakeholders in the cooperative movement under the theme: “Cooperatives Powering Socioeconomic Inclusion.”

Nairobi County accounts for more than 60% of Kenya’s cooperative movement, with over 5,000 SACCOs and more than 2.6 million members, making the sector one of the country’s most influential economic drivers. The airline relaunched its scheduled passenger operations on May 1, 2026, and currently operates two daily flights to Mombasa and one daily flight to Ukunda, serving both business and leisure travellers.

Mr Oduor affirmed that fly748.com’s participation at the Expo underscores its commitment to expanding access to air travel while building strategic partnerships with SACCOs and cooperative societies across the country. “Backed by over 31 years of proven aviation experience in some of the world’s most demanding operating environments, we deliver reliable schedules, on-time departures, high safety standards, and an exceptional customer experience,” he added.

He noted that the airline is keen on supporting a wide range of travelers, including corporate executives, SACCO members, tourists, families, and leisure travellers seeking dependable connectivity between Nairobi and Kenya’s coastal destinations. The Cooperative Expo Nairobi Edition 2026 offered a platform for networking, market access, investment opportunities, and partnerships among cooperatives and businesses across the country.
