Safarilink Aviation has introduced additional afternoon frequencies on its popular Nairobi-Kisumu-Entebbe route.
The latest development has been hailed as a major step forward for regional connectivity, tourism, and trade.
Launch of additional frequencies took place on Friday, February 6, 2026, at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), with Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) Chairman Caleb Kositany as the Guest of Honour.
Kositany was joined by Dr Beatrice Muganda Inyangala, Principal Secretary for Higher Education and Research in the Ministry of Education; Safarilink Managing Director Mr Alex Avedi; and JKIA Airport Manager Dr Rose Koros.
The new service complements the daily morning flights Safarilink launched in December last year. The route links Nairobi to Entebbe via Kisumu, offering business travellers and tourists faster, more reliable alternatives to lengthy road journeys.
“This expansion connects key economic and leisure hubs, fostering growth across East Africa,” said Kositany during the event.
Safarilink emphasised the route’s design for seamless same-day connections, reducing travel hassles and enhancing access to Lake Victoria’s tourism hotspots and trade corridors between Kenya and Uganda.
The initiative aligns with the authority’s efforts to bolster airport infrastructure and promote sustainable aviation.
