Renegade Air, a new airline, marked a significant milestone in the transport sector as it successfully launched its inaugural flight from Wilson Airport to Kabunde airstrip in Homabay County. The flight was flagged off by Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen, who expressed his pleasure in being part of this momentous occasion.

The launch of this new route is expected to have far-reaching benefits for the region. It is not only set to create employment opportunities but also improve connectivity, enhance trade, and promote tourism in the area. The introduction of this air service will undoubtedly contribute to the overall development and growth of Homabay County.

Recognizing the potential of the Kabunde airstrip, Murkomen, in his capacity as a leader, has instructed the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) to immediately implement a plan to extend the runway. This extension will accommodate larger aircraft, further enhancing local transport and facilitating easier connectivity to various parts of the country. Murkomen’s proactive approach reflects a commitment to promoting efficient and accessible transportation infrastructure.

The successful implementation of this project is also credited to the collaborative efforts between the national and county governments. Homabay Governor Gladys Wanga played a crucial role in spearheading this development, while the support of the region’s senators and members of the National Parliament further facilitated the realization of this initiative. This partnership between different levels of government is a testament to the power of collective action in driving progress and development.

In light of this achievement, the Ministry of Transport vows to leverage and build upon such strong partnerships between national and county governments. By capitalizing on these collaborations, the ministry aims to foster the overall growth and development of the country’s transportation infrastructure.

The launch of Renegade Air’s new flight route is set to usher in a new era of accessibility and connectivity for Homabay County and its surrounding regions. It signifies a significant step forward in improving the transport sector, boosting local economies, and promoting tourism. With the runway extension plans in motion, the future looks promising for increased air travel and enhanced connectivity within Kenya.
