Flights between Zanzibar and Nairobi and Dar es Salaam and Mombasa are also expected to be added to the network later in 2016.One way fares will start from $50 - $80 on the two new routes.Fastjet chief executive Ed Winter said passenger traffic between the major cities of Dar es Salaam and Nairobi, which have a combined population of over 8m people, had been limited by high air fares."The only alternative to flying is to undertake a long and difficult journey by road, which can take up to 12 hours," he said."Nairobi and Dar es Salaam are not only key travel destinations, and two of the busiest* airports in the region, but also hubs with extensive regional and international networks. Expanding the network into Kenya marks an important milestone in fastjet's strategic development and is a significant achievement for the Company, its staff and shareholders."
