SENATOR ALLAN CHESANG FLAGS OF THE DIRECT FLIGHTS.
Friday has been a new and, joyous dawn for the people of Trans-Nzoia county after the Skyward express launched their direct flights to Kitale. This launch comes months after Safarilink announced their suspension of direct flights to Kitale on May the 10th of this year. The local airline had expressed unfavorable business environment as their top concern that led to the suspension of direct flights.
Skyward express on the other side has introduced direct flights to Kitale sighting high demand on the route. Trans-Nzoia Senator flagged off its operation from Nairobi, Wilson Airport, on the wee hours of Friday the 30th together with the speaker of the Nation assembly, Hon Moses Wetangula, and, other leaders. The local airline has deployed a Dash8-Q100 aircraft to fly the Nairobi-Kitale route with passengers paying as low as Ksh 6900 for one way.
Skywards’ expansions comes at a time when the aviation industries are recovering from an induced impact caused by flight cancellations and, closure of borders after Covid-19 happened. The airline flies to Kakamega, Vihiga, and, Busia among other counties. This milestone is indeed huge for the people of Trans-Nzoia and, the neighboring counties because its a great way to open counties to not only local business but tourist attraction as well.
Later on, after the flag off, Trans-Nzoia Senator, Speaker of the National Assembly Hon Moses Wetangula, and, other leaders attended the burial of Hon Fred Gumos’ brother, Mr. Oscar, and, expressed his heartfelt condolences to the family and, friends. Afterwards, attended the burial of Mr. James Kipyego of Sitatunga ward in Cherangany constituency in Trans-Nzoia county.
