FanJet Express, a Kenyan airline, has taken a bold step into scheduled passenger operations with the launch of direct flights between Nairobi and Entebbe. The new service marks a significant milestone for the carrier, which has long been known for its reliable charter operations across Africa.
The route is operated by a Boeing 737-300 configured with 12 Business Class and 114 Economy Class seats, designed to offer passengers both comfort and choice. On board, travelers can look forward to complimentary meals, generous baggage allowance, and the warm, attentive hospitality that has become the airline’s signature.
For over a decade, FanJet Express has served humanitarian agencies, NGOs, and corporate clients, building a reputation for safety, efficiency, and personalized service. Now, the airline is extending that experience to regular passengers, connecting Kenya and Uganda with greater convenience and value.
Flights between Nairobi and Entebbe will run three times a week — every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday — making it easier for business and leisure travelers to move between the two cities. The timing of this launch could not be better. With Kenya and Uganda strengthening bilateral ties and removing trade barriers, cross-border travel and commerce are on the rise.
Industry watchers say the route is poised to become one of East Africa’s most promising regional connections. For travel agents and trade partners, it also presents an opportunity to tap into a growing market of business travelers, tourists, and regional investors seeking reliable and customer-focused service.
FanJet Express says it intends to bring a fresh, distinctly Kenyan touch to the skies — blending efficiency and warmth in a way that reflects the spirit of modern African aviation. With this move into scheduled operations, the airline is not only expanding its wings but also helping to strengthen the links that bind East Africa together.
