Nairobi, Kenya, 7 August 2026 — fly748.com has reported strong demand for its flights between Nairobi and the Kenyan Coast as families travel during the August school holidays.
The demand spans both its Mombasa and Ukunda/Diani services, reflecting growing interest among Kenyan families seeking convenient and affordable ways to enjoy local holiday destinations.
The airline attributes the seasonal demand to competitive fares, shorter journey times and growing interest in domestic tourism, as more Kenyan families choose convenient local holidays.
To make travel more accessible at the start of the holiday period, fly748.com offered a limited 10 per cent discount on one-way fares during the week schools closed. The promotion enabled families, students and leisure travellers to plan their trips while managing holiday costs.
fly748.com Head of Scheduled Services, George Oduor, said air travel is becoming an increasingly practical option for Kenyan families.
“We are seeing more Kenyan families choosing to fly during the school holidays because air travel has become more accessible. What was once considered a luxury is increasingly becoming a practical option for family travel,” said Oduor.
He added that flying allows families to spend less time on the road and more time enjoying their holidays, while connecting visitors directly to two of Kenya’s leading coastal destinations.
“By connecting Nairobi with both Mombasa and Ukunda/Diani, we are giving travellers greater choice in how they access the Coast. Our aim is to remove cost and convenience barriers so that more Kenyans can explore their own country,” he said.
Oduor noted that increased domestic travel also supports the wider tourism economy, including hotels, restaurants, tour operators, transport providers and small businesses that depend on visitor spending.
“Every additional passenger travelling to the Coast contributes to livelihoods across the tourism value chain. Affordable and dependable air connectivity therefore benefits not only the traveller, but also the communities and businesses serving these destinations,” said Oduor.
He encouraged customers planning August travel to book early, particularly for peak dates, to secure availability and the best fares.
“School holidays are among the busiest travel periods of the year. We encourage customers to plan ahead, and we remain committed to providing safe, reliable and convenient flights that make domestic travel accessible to more Kenyans,” he said.
