fly748.com has stepped up efforts to tap into Kenya’s expansive cooperative movement as the airline seeks to grow its domestic passenger numbers and strengthen its footprint in the local aviation market.
The carrier used the Cooperative Expo Nairobi Edition 2026 to engage SACCO leaders, investors, and cooperative members, positioning itself as a preferred travel partner for business, investment, and leisure journeys across the country.
The move comes as the airline seeks to capitalize on increasing demand for affordable and reliable domestic air travel following the relaunch of its scheduled passenger services earlier this month.
Speaking during the Expo, fly748.com Head of Scheduled Services George Oduor said cooperative societies represent a key market segment due to their large membership base and growing economic influence.
“The cooperative movement represents a powerful economic force with millions of members who travel for business, investment, family, and leisure. Through this Expo, we are showcasing fly748.com as a reliable airline that understands the travel needs of SACCO members, business travelers, families, and organized groups across Kenya,” he said.
The Expo, held on May 29 under the theme “Cooperatives Powering Socioeconomic Inclusion,” brought together stakeholders from across the cooperative ecosystem to discuss opportunities for growth, investment, and partnerships.
Organized by Credence Africa in collaboration with the Nairobi County Government, the event highlighted the growing contribution of cooperatives to Kenya’s economy, particularly in Nairobi County, which hosts more than 5,000 SACCOs and over 2.6 million members.
Industry players view the cooperative sector as one of the country’s strongest economic engines, mobilizing savings, facilitating investments, and supporting millions of livelihoods.
For fly748.com, the sector presents an opportunity to build long-term partnerships while expanding access to air travel for groups, businesses, and individual travelers seeking efficient transport solutions.
The airline resumed scheduled passenger operations on May 1, 2026, and currently operates two daily flights to Mombasa and one daily flight to Ukunda, connecting travelers to some of Kenya’s busiest business and tourism destinations.
Oduor said the airline’s participation at the Expo reflects its commitment to supporting economic inclusion by providing dependable connectivity to key markets.
“Backed by over 31 years of proven aviation experience in some of the world’s most demanding operating environments, we deliver reliable schedules, on-time departures, high safety standards, and an exceptional customer experience,” he said.
He added that the airline is keen to serve a diverse customer base, including SACCO members, corporate executives, tourists, families, and leisure travelers seeking seamless travel experiences.
Beyond promoting its services, fly748.com used the Expo to explore collaborative opportunities with cooperative societies that could unlock new travel solutions and benefits for members.
As competition in Kenya’s domestic aviation sector continues to intensify, the airline is betting on strategic partnerships and customer-focused services to drive growth and expand its reach among emerging market segments.
The Cooperative Expo Nairobi Edition 2026 also provided a platform for businesses and cooperatives to exchange ideas, build networks, and identify opportunities that can accelerate economic development and financial inclusion across the country.
