Skyward Express has officially launched scheduled flights linking Wilson Airport and Vipingo Ridge, marking an important milestone in strengthening regional air connectivity between Nairobi and Kenya’s North Coast.
The inaugural flight was flagged off by the Regional Airport Manager – Wilson Airport and Northern Region, Ms. Selina Gor.
The launch event was attended by CEO Skyward Airlines, Ms. Diana Nyambura, and CEO Vipingo Ridge, Mr. Alex Horsey, underscoring the strong partnership driving the initiative.
The newly introduced route represents a strategic collaboration aimed at enhancing access to the coastal destination while expanding travel options for passengers.
Operating twice weekly, every Friday and Saturday, the service provides travellers with a faster and more convenient alternative to the lengthy road journey.
Beyond convenience, the connection is expected to stimulate tourism, facilitate business travel, and support economic activity along Kenya’s coast, reinforcing the vital role of aviation in regional development and connectivity.
KAA remains committed to enabling efficient airport operations and supporting partnerships that expand access, drive growth, and enhance passenger experience across the country’s aviation network.
