Kenya Airways has diverted some flights scheduled to land at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to Moi International Airport and Kilimanjaro International Airport due to adverse weather conditions.
In a statement on Thursday, July 25, KQ noted that there had been poor visibility due to the adverse weather conditions that led to the decision being taken.
The airline disclosed that, as a result, flight delays in departures and arrivals were expected in Nairobi.
“We wish to inform our customers that we have this morning, diverted to Mombasa and Kilimanjaro, some of our flights that were scheduled to land at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
“This is due to poor visibility caused by adverse weather conditions. As a result, we expect some delays in departures and arrivals in Nairobi. We understand that this may cause inconvenience, but please be assured that we have taken all necessary safety measures and the well-being of our crew, and customers are our number one priority,” KQ stated.

This comes days after the national carrier experienced an outage in its booking system that resulted from a global system outage that disrupted airlines, banks, and telecom companies.
KQ advised passengers to be prepared for slower service as the airline implemented a business continuity plan before the problem was later resolved.
The global system outage was also experienced in other countries, including the US, where major airlines such as Delta and American Airlines grounded flights due to communication problems.
