Fly540 to Offer Nairobi – Juba Link

African low-Cost carrier Fly540 is to inaugurate flights between Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and Juba in southern Sudan. The flight will commence in May on a six times weekly frequency, increasing to daily in the future.

“Entrepreneurs and investors are turning to the Southern Sudan and there are growing trade links with Kenya which are driving demand for more flights between Nairobi and Juba,” said Nixon Ooko, Operations Director, Fly540. “We anticipate introducing a daily schedule in the near future.”

Fly540 already offers links from the Kenyan capital to Bujumbura, Dar Es Salaam, Entebbe, Eldoret, Kilimanjaro, Kisumu, Kitale, Lamu, Malindi, Mombasa, Mwanza and Wajir, adding flights to Angola earlier this year. Alongside the Juba service it plans to start flights to Ghana in June. These new services will be operated using Bombardier CRJ200s a type that has been welcomed by travellers. “These 50-seater twin jet aircraft have proved very popular with our passengers on services to destinations in Burundi, Tanzania and Uganda," said Nixon Ooko.
