KENYA – Jambojet a Kenyan low-cost airline has introduced a flexible payment plan for passengers flying on the regional budget carrier.

Passengers can now book and pay for their flights in a flexible payment plan for bookings made at least 60 days in advance.

This follows the introduction of a ticketing product dubbed Jaza pole pole where passengers will be required to make a down payment of as low as US$24.2 per person and the balance paid in three instalments.

Passengers using this platform will have up to two hours to make any changes to their booking after the initial deposit has been made.

Jamabojet Acting Managing Director Karanja Ndegwa said that passengers are required to complete paying for their tickets within 21 days prior to the date of travel to any of Jambojet’s destinations.

“We are continuously innovating to provide our customers products and services that are tailor-made to offer flexible, convenient and affordable travel,” Ndegwa said. 

“We understand the tough economic times and would want to ensure we cushion our customers so that they are still able to travel when they want to,” Ndegwa added.
