The airline said its scheduled service, Fly 748.com, will reconnect Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) with key coastal and regional destinations, beginning with Nairobi, Mombasa and Ukunda.
The resumption comes as the carrier seeks to re-establish its presence in Kenya’s competitive domestic aviation sector while tapping into demand for air travel linked to tourism, trade and business mobility.
According to the airline, the restart follows internal reforms aimed at improving operational efficiency, strengthening safety compliance and enhancing customer service.
“Our re-launch marks a new chapter for Fly 748.com and for domestic aviation in Kenya. We are committed to providing dependable air services that connect communities, support businesses, and contribute to the growth of tourism and regional economies,” said George Oduor, Head of Fly 748.com.
The airline will operate Dash 8-Q400 aircraft, which are commonly used on short-haul regional routes. It said introductory fares on the initial routes will start from Ksh.6,500 one way, with plans to gradually expand to more destinations depending on market demand.
748 Air Services said it had worked with the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) to meet regulatory and operational requirements ahead of the relaunch.
The carrier also said it holds Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS) Gold Status, a safety accreditation issued under the Flight Safety Foundation framework.
“The safety management system we have in place is robust and predictive, not reactive. Achieving BARS Gold Status demonstrates our focus on safety, quality and reliability,” said Ahmed Jibril, Chairman of Fly 748.com.
Beyond operations, the airline said it is also pursuing environmental measures aimed at reducing emissions and improving sustainability in its activities.
Oduor said the airline has been implementing an Environmental Management System since 2022 as part of efforts to cut its carbon footprint and align with broader climate action goals.
The airline’s return is expected to add capacity and competition to Kenya’s domestic aviation market, particularly on routes serving the Coast, where air travel remains a key link for both leisure and business passengers.
