Bluebird Aviation

Bluebird Aviation (ICAO: BBZ) is a regional carrier headquartered in Kenya, established in 1992. The airline operates from Wilson Airport in Nairobi, serving as its primary hub for regional and charter operations across East Africa.

The airline's network focuses on regional connectivity, connecting secondary cities and remote destinations where larger aircraft cannot operate efficiently. Bluebird Aviation positions itself as a bridge carrier for business travelers, safari operators, and passengers seeking access to East Africa's diverse destinations beyond major international hubs.

The fleet consists of two modern turboprop aircraft families: the Fokker 50 and Bombardier Q400 NextGen. These twin-engine, short-haul aircraft are purpose-built for regional operations, offering excellent fuel efficiency, reliability, and the ability to operate from unprepared or remote airstrips-a critical advantage in East Africa's geography.
