Jambojet marked its return to Uganda at Entebbe International Airport on 1 October, resuming service between Entebbe and Nairobi, according to New Vision. The airline had first served Entebbe in 2018 before stepping back during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Board representative Patricia Ithau said the airline was returning as demand grows and after expanding its network and fleet. Works and Transport Minister Fred Byamukama described air connectivity as a potential support for trade, tourism and investment across East Africa. Those are the airline and government representatives' assessments; a route launch alone does not guarantee lower fares or more trade.
