Kenyans can now fly to Migori County three times per week for Sh8,600 with Skyward Express.
The flight will take at least a half-hour.
Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen made the announcement on Wednesday, saying that the schedule will make travel easier for Kenyans.
“The convenience of having three weekly flights to Migori, scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, will greatly simplify travel,” he said.
Speaking while flagging off the first flight, the CS noted that the accessibility by air will further solidify Migori’s position as a hub for commerce, tourism, and innovation.
“Together, we are opening up new horizons for our county and region, facilitating business growth, and promoting the free flow of ideas and opportunities,” Murkomen added.
The CS was speaking at Wilson Airport where he launched Skyward Express flights from Wilson Airport to Migori.
He was joined by Mama Ida Odinga, Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) Board Chairperson Caleb Kositany, National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, Migori Senator Eddy Oketch, EALA MP Hassan Omar among others.
“Proud to have been part of this historic milestone achieved by Skyward Express. Together, we are opening up new horizons for our county and region, facilitating business growth, and promoting the free flow of ideas and opportunities,” Murkomen said.
“This is a pivotal moment, promising economic benefits for the region. From boosting tourism, to enhancing trade and investment, the impact of this new flight route can’t be overstated.”
