Fly540
Fly540 is Africa's low cost airline.
Fly540 is backed by the giant 100 year old, UK based investment and mining conglomerate, Lonrho PLC and Fly540 plans to become the first pan-African low cost carrier operating to British safety standards.
The airline with its headquarters in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, began operations between Nairobi international Airport (Jomo Kenyatta) and Kenya's second largest city and premier port, Mombasa on 24th November 2006. By summer 2009, Fly540 was already uplifting 20,000 passengers per month and operating to nine airports in Kenya as well as to eleven international destinations: including Entebbe in Uganda and Zanzibar, Kilimanjaro, Arusha, Grumeti, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Mwaza in Tanzania, Juba and Rumbek in Sudan and Bujumburra in Burundi. In 2009 the airline also announced plans to open new hubs in Angola, Ghana and Zimbabwe. Fly540 provides daily domestic services to both the Kenyan Coastal regions of Mombassa, Malindi and Lamu as well as to the Western Kenya tourist circuits of Kisimu, Eldoret, and Kitale, plus the world renowned Maasi Mara Game reserve (as featured in the BBC TV wildlife programme, "Big Cat Diary"). Daily flights from Nairobi to Zanzibar are becoming increasingly popular and the Nairobi to Kilimanjaro route has been linked with daily services to Lake Manyara and Serengeti for the growing number of adventure seeking holidaymakers who wish to combine game viewing in the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti with climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
The airline has a fleet of six modern turbo prop aircraft plus one regional jet, all offering an ideal mix of comfort, speed and economic operating costs. The current fleet is as follows: 3 ATR 42-320 aircraft with capacity for 46 passengers. 1 Dash 8-102 aircraft with capacity for 37 passengers 2 Beechcraft 19000D with capacity for 19 passengers 1 all cargo Fokker F27 and the latest addition a Canadair Regional Jet CRJ-200 with capacity for 50 passengers. The new CRJ aircraft has initially been deployed on the Nairobi to Entebbe route and has enabled Fly540 to reduce the flying time between the tow capital cities to 50 minutes. Further CRJ aircraft and new turboprops are planned to join the fleet during 2010. Fly540 combine a strong emphasis on quality customer service with a no-frills business concept. The senior management team comprises of highly qualifies Kenyan staff with many years experience of both international and domestic airlines. Fly540's Chief Executive Officer is Don Smith and Neil Steffen, a former British Airways Regional Manager, is the Chief Operating Officer. The post of Operations Director is held by Nixon Ooko who worked for 24 years in British Airways and held senior positions in both Kenya and South Africa.
