Kenyans face higher air ticket prices this year as most domestic carriers raise fares amid rising demand for air travel and a persistent shortage of aircraft that has pushed up leasing costs.
Off-peak fares on major domestic routes such as Nairobi–Mombasa, Nairobi–Kisumu and Nairobi–Eldoret are set to rise by up to Sh2,000 for a one-way ticket, according to bookings on leading airlines for months ahead.
