"To this end, the Government has commenced the process of addressing the infrastructure development of the facility covering the expansion of the passenger terminal, runway capacity, and provision of additional aircraft parking bays beginning this financial year 2023/2024," Ogoye said.
Addressing the cause of the current woes, Ogoye stated:
"Over the last 10 years, JKIA has suffered inadequate facility and infrastructure capacity upgrades to the extent that even temporary interventions became permanent solutions hence the current state of affairs in service disruptions."
He further noted that the board, management, and staff of Kenya Airports Authority are aligned with the concerns of the members of the public and are implementing the Government's civil aviation investment program to facilitate seamless, efficient, and effective service delivery
