Skyward Airlines
Skyward Airlines, (IATA: OW, ICAO: SEW), is a private airline operating in Kenya. It provides scheduled passenger and cargo services from its two main operational bases at Wilson Airport (for passenger services) and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (for cargo operations), both located in Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya.
History
Skyward Airlines was founded in 2013 by two Kenyan pilots, one of whom currently serves as the chairman and the other as the managing director. The airline inherited some equipment and routes from the now-defunct Skyward International Aviation.
In April 2025, the airline officially rebranded under the name Skyward Airlines.
Following its establishment, Skyward Airlines began commercial operations providing passenger, charter, and cargo services between Nairobi and destinations in neighboring Somalia, including the transport of miraa from Nairobi. With time and fleet expansion, the airline diversified its network to include routes to oil-producing counties in northwestern Kenya and key coastal tourist destinations.
