OneJetOne Airways, Nairobi
 

Does anyone know who is behind this airline? The web site here OneJetOne Airways Kenya - Fun To Fly ! is under construction, but it seems they're recruiting. What aircraft are they planning to fly?

Party owned by air asia<the fleet will be A320,A330.You have to be a kenyan citizen to apply.

Hmmm. Not sure if that's interesting or not! (no offence intended). Just have to wait and see I guess. Looks like an LCL op. Is Kenya loaded with out of work airbus crews? ;)

They will fully sponsor for the rating and be bonded for 8 years.

Sawaya, if you have additional detailed info about this start up, can you please PM me? :)

Thank you!

Bonded or not, you need Airbus time to kick off an Airline.

You could be Kenyan with two lunar landings and an Apollo spacecraft endorsement under your belt, but with out about 500+ hours on Airbus, you aint going nowhere:eek:

8 years! Damn... At least kq for 3 years.. But its good to have some other airline other than kq. Hopefully they'll change the hiring dynamics in kenya..
So you aware of their minimum requirements, when they expect to be launching and the routes?
Seems like an interesting operation to me

As you all no,no expat can work in Kenya the requirements are Kenyan citizenship and a basic CPL,mr Aussie I know what I am talking about,

Thridle I agree with you and that's why all recruited pilots will be going to work for air Asia for a while to get some experience before the airline kicks off.

The design of their website seems somehow "inspired" by W!ZZ (Wizz Air). We'll see what becomes of it. Don't expect too much.

Positive move...Kenyan aviation needs it!!!

I can now confirm that onejetone has invested 21 million dollars,in refurbishing the old airport in Nairobi embakasi,To be used solely by them.

Any idea who is financing them??

Does that mean that there's hope for a Kenyan citizen like me with a JAA Frozen ATPL in getting a job if i go back to Kenya?

JAA or not , you'll need to get the KCAA licence . two can play this game ...:}
Anyway if you're a kenyan cit.there will be jobs at some point or another . You don't necessarily need to be a citizen to work , you can sometimes get work permits but it's hard and almost impossible for low timer . Basically same :mad:as someone from Kenya getting rights to work in EU ...Crash course in Buddhistic meditation needed before applying ....

I take it the 21mill has been invested in upgrading / renewing the 'old' terminal on the North side of runway at Embakasi and NOT Eastleigh as suggested by someone earlier ?
FWIW I attended the opening ceremony of Emabakasi in 1958 as a ( very ) young man , some of my Dads black and white photos of the occasion show some interesting aircraft .
We thought the terminal was the most wonderful building we had ever seen !!
Not a security guard to be seen , seeing someone off meant strolling out to the aircraft steps with them . Halcyon days indeed.

Definitely not Eastleigh which is still an AFB ,with no instrument approaches , and now in the middle of the suburbs as well (they'd have to invest a lot more money to make it useable as a civ airport , including rebuilding an access road) . That North Terminal has been talked about for eons though , I wonder if it will be done eventually or if it's just another rumour .

The first post on this thread says they are recruiting, but the website is still under construction......
Does anyone have any info on the recruiting of OneJet One? Or when they may start hiring?

Pilot recruitment was done last November....though they will open it up soon again but i am sure they have recruited the pilots to start the operation.

Hi Ylva..what makes you say they have recruited last November??
Any other info you wish to share than you can
PM..thnx
Happy landings:ok:
