Fly540 is a Kenyan low-cost regional airline that operates scheduled passenger services across East and Central Africa. Founded in the mid-2000s, the carrier was designed to bring affordable air travel to underserved routes within the region, competing with larger carriers by offering no-frills service at competitive fares. The airline has operated under various ownership structures over the years, including a period of association with the Lonrho Aviation group. It has faced operational challenges and periods of suspended services but has continued to serve key regional destinations including routes within Kenya and to neighboring countries. Fly540 is known for connecting smaller Kenyan cities and towns to Nairobi, as well as serving international destinations in East Africa, filling gaps in regional connectivity that larger carriers often overlook.
