What you need to know:

  • The choice of Goma as the first city for Jambojet in the DR Congo is justified by the economic and tourism opportunities North Kivu presents.

Kenyan budget airline Jambojet on Friday launched  flights to Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as it seeks expansion into the central African country.

Jambojet, a subsidiary of national carrier Kenya Airways, made its inaugural flight, becoming the first airline to directly connect the capital of North Kivu province and Nairobi.
