Safarilink to restore mid-morning flights to Kisumu

Safarilink Aviation Limited will restore its mid-morning flight service between the Kisumu International Airport and Wilson Airport in Nairobi from November 1, 2026.

An additional service from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) will commence on November 10, 2026.

The airline says the move will give travellers between the two cities greater flexibility and an alternative to the early-morning departure.

The service had previously been suspended as the airline prioritised capacity on other routes during the high season.

Safarilink Commercial Manager Rose Kiget said the decision to restore the flight follows continued demand for a more flexible travel schedule on the Kisumu–Nairobi route.

"The return of the mid-morning flight is a response to the needs. We recognise that not everyone finds it convenient to travel early in the morning. This service gives passengers more time to rest before travelling," said Ms. Kiget.

By operating from both Wilson Airport and JKIA, Safarilink will offer a combined 25 flights per week.

Safarilink Kisumu Airport Manager Bwa Frazier Okune said the airline remains committed to improving the travel experience of people in Western Kenya.
