What You Need to Know<\/h4>\n

748 Air Services is set to resume scheduled flight operations in Kenya starting this May. The airline aims to enhance connectivity across the country, reconnecting key regional destinations. With a focus on safety and environmental sustainability, 748 Air Services plans to operate a fleet of Dash 8-Q400 aircraft, starting with routes including Nairobi, Mombasa, and Ukunda.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong> <\/span>Passenger and cargo airline\u2014748 Air Services is set to resume scheduled flight operations in Kenya this May, signaling a strong return to the domestic aviation market.<\/p>\n

This comes amid renewed commitment by the airline to enhancing connectivity across the country.<\/p>\n

The re-launch will see the airline\u2019s scheduled services known as Fly 748.com reconnect Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) with key regional destinations.<\/p>\n

It follows a period of strategic operational restructuring aimed at strengthening service delivery, reinforcing safety standards and improving the overall passenger experience.<\/p>\n

The return to the skies is part of the airline\u2019s broader strategy to support tourism, trade and regional mobility, management yesterday said, particularly in destinations that rely heavily on-air transport for economic activity.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur re-launch marks a new chapter for Fly 748.com and for domestic aviation in Kenya. We are committed to providing dependable air services that connect communities, support businesses and contribute to the growth of tourism and regional economies,\u201d Head of Fly 748.com, George Oduor, said.<\/p>\n

The airline will operate a fleet of Dash 8-Q400 aircraft, widely recognised for their reliability and efficiency on short-haul regional routes.<\/p>\n

Initial routes will include Nairobi, Mombasa and Ukunda, with fares starting from Sh6,500 one way.<\/p>\n

The airline plans to progressively expand to additional destinations based on market demand.<\/p>\n

Fly 748.com emphasised that safety remains its top priority, noting that the airline has worked closely with the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) to ensure all regulatory and operational requirements are fully met ahead of the re-launch.<\/p>\n

The airline is also accredited under the Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS) Gold Status, a globally recognised certification that underscores its commitment to the highest safety standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe safety management system we have in place is robust and predictive, not reactive. Achieving BARS Gold Status, an accreditation by the Flight Safety Foundation demonstrates our unwavering focus on safety, quality, and reliability,\u201d Fly 748.com Chairman, Ahmed Jibril, said.<\/p>\n

The airline is also advancing its environmental sustainability agenda.<\/p>\n

Since 2022, 748 Air Services has been implementing an Environmental Management System aimed at reducing its carbon footprint and promoting responsible aviation practices.<\/p>\n

This includes adopting technologies and operational measures to minimise emissions, prevent pollution and exceed regulatory environmental standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe conduct thorough assessments of our carbon emissions and are implementing targeted strategies to reduce our environmental impact, contributing to global climate action efforts,\u201d said Oduor.<\/p>\n

748 Air Services will have operations at JKIA\u2019s Terminal 2, with Mombasa and Ukunda (Diani) as key routes, amid expansion.<\/p>\n

The aviation industry in Kenya has faced significant challenges in recent years, particularly due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which severely disrupted travel and trade. In response, airlines like 748 Air Services have been restructuring their operations to adapt to the changing market dynamics and consumer needs. The resumption of flights by 748 Air Services marks a positive step towards revitalizing the domestic aviation sector and supporting economic recovery in the region. This move is expected to boost tourism and facilitate trade, which are critical for Kenya’s economic growth.<\/p>\n
