Jambojet has leased a next generation Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 in a bid to ease flight delays.

Jambojet has leased the plane from Abu Dhabi Aviation to replace one of the two older versions of the Q400 aircraft it is currently using.

“We selected the Q400 aircraft because it has the speed and range required to service all our current domestic destinations and targeted regional destinations. It has proven to be the right aircraft for this market,” Willem Hondius, Jambojet’s chief executive, said in a statement. “This new next generation aircraft has lower operating costs and will help us optimize our operations in terms of increasing the service quality as well as improving economics.”

The budget carrier is owned by national carrier, Kenya Airways.
