By MUGAMBI MUTEGIMore by this AuthorJambojet is set to receive two new aircraft worth Sh6.6 billion before Christmas in anticipation of the high-season passenger demand and as the low-cost carrier prepares to start international flights. The airline, a subsidiary of national carrier Kenya Airways #ticker:KQ, is set to receive the first of two Bombardier Q400 on December 11. Jambojet, which has been operational since April 2014, currently operates four aircraft — two Q400 planes (which were also acquired this year) and two Boeing 737s leased from its parent firm. Thousands of Jambojet passengers travelling to the Coast over Christmas were hit by flight delays and cancellations. Jambojet, which issued an apology for these delays, has since then set out to increase its fleet to avoid a repeat of this incident even as looks to expand regionally.
