Nairobi — Skyward Express today began its daily flights between Nairobi and Kitale to meet the growing demand for air travel.

The flight departed earlier today from Wilson Airport to the Kitale Airstrip in Bungoma County.

It deployed a Dash8-Q100 aircraft, with passengers paying as little as Sh6,900 one way.

Skyward's expansion comes at a time when the local and international aviation industries are recovering from an induced impact caused by flight cancellations and the closure of borders to prevent the spread of the virus.

Only in December did the carrier introduce flights between Nairobi and Kakamega, reducing travel time between the two cities.

The opening of the new corridor offers the airline a huge market base in Counties such as Kakamega, Vihiga, and Busia, among others.

Currently, it operates flights to Mombasa, Diani, Lamu, Malindi, Lodwar, Eldoret, and Kakamega.
