The freight arm of Kenya’s first low-cost airline, Jambojet, has opted to publish its cargo capacities on Freightos’ WebCargo platform. Jambojet Cargo, which is billed as Kenya’s leading regional carrier, operates a fleet of 7 De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400 which each offer up to one ton of cargo space. From its main hub in Nairobi and secondary hub in Mombasa, it serves nine main routes linking Kenya and Tanzania. Its network destinations are Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, Malindi, Diani, Lamu and Zanzibar. As its cargo business grows, the airline plans to establish interlining agreements in line with customer demand. The airline currently carries mainly fresh produce, pharmaceuticals, and e-commerce. Now that its capacity is available on WebCargo, it will reach a greater customer base and WebCargo users will have access to cargo routes across East Africa. “With Jambojet Cargo now live on WebCargo by Freightos, and in the future available to interlining agreements, freight forwarders can compare live rates, book shipments instantly, and manage air cargo digitally, improving visibility, reducing manual coordination, and ensuring faster, more reliable service. Freightos processes an annualized run rate of over 1.6 million transactions on its platform,” the release elaborates.
Zvi Schreiber, CEO of Freightos, commented: “Partnering with Jambojet Cargo expands WebCargo by Freightos’ reach in one of Africa’s most dynamic logistics markets. By bringing more regional carriers online, we’re continuing Freightos’ mission to make global trade smoother and more efficient – helping forwarders and shippers access the capacity they need, when they need it and where they need it.” Karanja Ndegwa, MD & CEO at Jambojet, confirmed: “Digitalization is reshaping air cargo across Africa, and Jambojet is proud to be at the forefront of this change, providing our customers with a modern and easy-to-use booking experience. By joining WebCargo by Freightos, we’re giving freight forwarders faster, smoother, and more reliable access to our network – supporting the region’s expanding trade and connectivity.
