The flight JM8656 was expected to land at the Kisumu International Airport (KIA) at 6.10 pm on Tuesday but the plan did not materialise after several attempts.
The bad weather may have been caused by evening rainfall witnessed in several areas of Kisumu on Tuesday evening.
In a statement published by Jambojet on its official social media pages, the plane returned to Nairobi and landed safely at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
Arrangements have been made for all passengers who were on-board to fly to Kisumu tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. We recognize the discomfort and the inconvenience caused as a result of this incident and sincerely apologise, stated the airline.
We reaffirm our commitment to continue maintaining the highest safety standards in all our operations and give the best possible experience on our flights, added the statement.
This comes in the wake of ongoing runway repairs at the Kisumu International Airport.
The over a week maintenance exercise comes to an end on March 28, 2019.
The exercise has led to rescheduling and cancellation of some flights.
