Fly540has launched new flights between Kakamega and its base at Nairobi International Airport.
The new Fly540 link to Kakamega in Western Kenya adds to the low cost airline's growing domestic network, opening up Western Kenya for tourism and business travellers.
Fly 540’s flights to Eldoret, Kitale, Kisumu, and now Kakamega will offer access for tourists wishing to see where President Obama’s roots lie in Kenya, as his paternal village is just a few kilometres outside Kenya’s lakeside city of Kisumu.
Flights to Kitale offer easy access to Mt. Elgon National Park and nearby game reserves, and their latest addition of Kakamega will make the Kakamega Forest more accessible.
The Kenya Tourist Board has, in the recent past, created additional circuits in parts of the country less visited by overseas tourists. The added airlink will undoubtedly entice tour and safari operators to be more proactive when promoting these new areas.
More and more tourist visitors are now using air services to the national parks enabling them to spend time in the parks as opposed to travelling time.
The aircraft used on the Kakamega route will be a Beechcraft 1900 or a Bombardier Dash 8. The latter is already used for the newly-added, off-peak flights to the coastal destinations of Mombasa and Malindi and Lamu.
The scheduled is:
