Eswatini Air has announced plans to add Nairobi, Kenya, as its sixth destination, marking its expansion into the East African market.
The announcement was made by Ndumiso Shongwe, General Manager and Acting Group CEO of Royal Eswatini National Airways Corporation (RENAC), during a business stakeholder briefing at Esibayeni Lodge in Matsapha.
According to Inside Biz, the proposed route follows the introduction of the airline’s Lusaka service and forms part of its broader network expansion strategy. Nairobi has been identified as a high-yield market with the potential to strengthen the carrier’s revenue and regional connectivity.
The airline currently operates from King Mswati III International Airport, connecting Eswatini with Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town in South Africa, Harare in Zimbabwe, and Lusaka in Zambia.
Eswatini Air aims to have the Nairobi service operational within a year of its fourth anniversary in March 2027.
