Low-cost carrier Jambojet has extended the suspension of its flights to June 7th after the government prolonged the cessation of movement order. Last month, Jambo Jet extended its temporary suspension to May 20th.
“The Government of Kenya has again extended the cessation of movement order in and out of Nairobi, Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale, and Mandera counties for an additional 21 days. Therefore, Jambojet wishes to advise all customers of a further suspension of operations up to June 7th, 2020,” reads a Jambojet statement.
The Kenya airways subsidiary will allow its customers to reschedule their flights at no cost after the new development.
“We would like to encourage all passengers scheduled to travel in the period up to June 7th, 2020, to consider rescheduling their travel to a later date at no extra cost,” the statement added.
In March, Jambojet suspended its flights to Rwanda and Entebbe as international travelers’ numbers dipped.

Airlines locally and globally are suffering dips in revenues as governments impose restrictive measures. This has resulted in massive layoffs, pay-cuts, and unpaid leave among employees. For instance, by March, KQ had lost $8 million in revenue, therefore requested a state bailout.
