 A new airline has launched flights on the Kisumu-Nairobi route, stirring the growing competition with lucrative starting rates of Sh4,500 one-way.

Freedom Airlines Express becomes the sixth airliner on the route, pushing the number of flights into the Kisumu International Airport to 30 every week.

The airline is seeking to tap into a niche caused by the busy weekend schedule.
