After acquiring its fifth aircraft, a Bombardier Dash 8–Q400, budget airline Jambojet had to find a way of bringing it to Nairobi. This can keep it above the skies for about five hours,” Captain Michael Kwinga, a Jambojet pilot, told Weekend Business in an interview. This way, it can do an additional two hours before it starts using its reserve fuel,” Captain Kwinga said. For Captain Kwinga, who has more than 10 years of flying experience, piloting the new acquisition should not have offered any challenge. From Exeter, the team braved another three-hour cruise to Malta for a fuel stop to get the needed push to land on the African continent.
