George Kivindyo, former Chief Executive of Fly-SAX and current Accountable Manager for East African explained the reasons behind the rebranding. “We have gone back to our original name ‘East African’ since we believe it is more aligned to our business objectives at the moment.”
Fly-SAX was established in December 2010 by CEO and Founder, Don Smith, following the purchase of East African Safari Air Express.
East African is a premier safari and private charter airline based in Nairobi, operating from both Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and Wilson Airport.
According to Kivindyo, the Lokichogio route will be operated by a Beechcraft 1900D, with a configuration of 16 seats; however he says this might change to a Q100, depending on passenger loads.
The flight schedule is as follows:
