The price of air tickets to Nairobi from Mombasa, Kisumu and Eldoret after Christmas has more than doubled on the back of high demand from passengers travelling back to the city after the festive season.

The cost of tickets from Mombasa to Nairobi on the budget carrier Jambojet has increased from a low of Sh6,400 for those travelling today to a high of Sh14,280 for passengers booking on December 27, and that fare is set to rise further closer to the travel date.
