About us

Who we are

A Kenyan airline built on a long operational history, now flying scheduled services between Nairobi and the coast.

Fly748 exists to make travel between Nairobi and the Kenyan coast simple, punctual and affordable. We draw on the aircraft, engineers and crews of an established regional operator with years of experience flying into demanding airfields across the region — the kind of background that turns a routine scheduled flight into a predictable one.

Today we serve Mombasa and Ukunda (Diani) with daily rotations, sized so that business travellers can be at a morning meeting on the coast and home the same evening, and holidaymakers can be on the sand within hours of leaving the city.

Reliable schedules

Departure banks built around the working day, with morning and late-afternoon waves to the coast.

Affordable fares

Straightforward fare families, with a Smart Fare option when you need a bigger baggage allowance.

Experienced crew

Flight and cabin crews drawn from years of demanding operations across East Africa.

Safety first

Maintenance, training and operational oversight held to the standards our licence demands, every rotation.

Our fleet

Aircraft of different types and specifications

Bombardier Dash 8-Q400

Bombardier Dash 8-Q400

Our workhorse on the coastal trunk routes. The Q400 pairs jet-like cruise speed with turboprop economics, so it climbs quickly out of Nairobi and settles into a quiet, level ride to the coast.
