Sharing this new venture on twitter, the celebrated businessman said they also intended to
“introduce in the Kenyan market include fractional aircraft ownership and aircraft management services”.

JetmanGlobal has introduced the ‘Heli Ride’ to and from Nairobi to Thika. The cost is Ksh40,000 per person, and if you book two tickets, you get a discount of Ksh10,000, meaning one only pays Ksh70,000.
This includes “30 minutes of flight time over Kibera, Upperhill, Nairobi CBD Skyline, Githurai, Ruiru, Juja, and Thika”.
There is a ten minute stop over in Thika for a photo session.
