Workers and businessmen can now fly directly from Lokichoggio in Turkana to Nairobi after East African Safari Air Express relaunched operations on the route, easing the burden of travelling 215km to catch flights in Lodwar.
The airline, which has rebranded back to East African from Fly-SAX, said scheduled flights from Wilson Airport in Nairobi to the northwest Kenya town, which lies about 30 kilometres from South Sudan, will start next Friday.
