FILE PHOTO | NMGBy CHARLES LWANGAMore by this AuthorDomestic airline Skyward Express has increased flights on its coastal routes to ride on demand for air travel following the restriction of air travel to or from Nairobi due to the Covid-19 surge. Skyward will operate four weekly flights on the Mombasa-Malindi-Lamu route from Wednesday, the airline said. Business and holiday travellers on the North Coast often prefer air travel as it takes only about 30 minutes compared to about four to five hours on the Mombasa- Lamu road. In a press statement, Skyward Express said flights will be operating on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday from Moi International Airport in Mombasa to Lamu via Malindi.
