The Kenyan civil aviation authority has cleared Jambo to fly internationally from the two Kenyan to cities in Burundi, the Comoros, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Madagascar, French department Mayotte, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.

Low-cost carrier Jambo, which has not yet begun operations, also has rights to fly 737s domestically between Nairobi and Eldoret, Kisumu, Lamu, Malindi, Mombasa and Wajir.

Its parent, Kenya Airways, has also been given authorised to operate from Mombasa and Nairobi to Wajir.
