The cost of air ticket to coastal Kenya has increased to Sh17,000 for a one-way ticket ahead of Easter as some flights are sold out, marking one of the steepest rises in the last three years.

The sharp increase in charges, which will see passengers dig deeper into their pockets, has been occasioned by high demand for air travel as more people plan to go on vacation at Kenya’s favourite tourist destinations.
