“This is a significant milestone for us and the aviation industry at large,” said Patrick Oketch, Renegade Air Sales and Marketing Manager, speaking at the flight launch event at Wilson Airport. “We are proud to be at the forefront of domestic aviation innovation, offering a comfortable, reliable and efficient travel experience aboard this new-generation aircraft.”
The new route is also welcomed by the Kenya Association of Travel Agents, citing the development as a strong step forward in improving regional air connectivity, which is crucial for boosting domestic tourism, trade and the overall travel ecosystem.
