Cargo flights have been on high demand from Jomo Kenyatta airport, Nairobi, Kenya to Somalia and South Sudan. Airlines have ensured they have segmented the cargo & freight flights into five categories, cash on transit, parcels, dangerous goods and normal goods. The flights are segmented into three categories consolidated cargo & freight flights, scheduled cargo & freight flights and private cargo & freight flights.

Consolidated flights are only provided to South Sudan to Juba and Rumbek airports respectively due to the high demand and requests that airlines receive from the organizations and businessmen/women transporting goods from Nairobi to Juba,Rumbek ,Yei,Malakal,Bentiu,Akobo and many other destinations hence enabling air charter companies to put a consolidated flight. There are 2 flights operated weekly on Wednesday and Saturday from Jomo Kenyatta airport, Nairobi to Juba in South Sudan. Consolidation means we will collect cargo from individuals and organizations so that we can fill an aircraft of 10 to 15 tones to be able to operate. Organizations with 6 tones and above can request for private cargo & freight flights out of the two days for consolidated flights. Also Dangerous Goods will not be allowed on consolidated and scheduled flights as we have passenger baggage, medicine, fresh produce which we can not mix with. The cargo or freight is charged on per kilo basis including or excluding ground handling, customs documentation which the operator will agree with the client on how to proceed and prices per kilo will differ as it will depend on the volume of cargo and freight airlifted in a month.Cash on transit will need to be accompanied by a security firm as we will not accept cash or sensitive documents on the flight. If we receive more cargo & freight we will introduce more flights.

Scheduled cargo & freight flights operate from Jomo Kenyatta airport daily to Juba four flights daily to Juba. Organizations or individuals with cargo are advised to make reservations at least 4 days in advance and it will be subject to availability of space or passenger baggage. Flights to Juba are operated by different airlines and the airfares and freight charges differ and depend with the airlines pricing strategy.

The advantage of leasing is that organizations can form a consortium when operating in the same region as lease is based on minimum guaranteed hours in a month for a period of 3 month and above and when you hit the guaranteed hour the rate per hour drops. In wet lease you will be responsible for accommodation, meals, transport, fuel which you can hire an apartment and negotiate for the fuel prices and same being an international organization and based on the volume used in a month. For dry lease you will negotiate with the crew as you will be paying them, fuel, accommodation, meals and transport as the lessor will give you the aircraft ensure there is insurance, maintenance is done once the hour’s expiry or a certain check is required.Adhoc contract charter flights are available whereby an organization signs a contract and gives dates they will be operating in a month and if the flights is cancelled at least 72 before the date of operations no charges will be imposed opposed to lease whereby whether you fly or not the guaranteed hours have to be paid.
