Disruptions, higher costs as some Wilson flights shift to JKIA

Several domestic airlines plan to shift some of their scheduled flights to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) from Wilson Airport, which is set for rehabilitation works, signalling extra costs for carriers and disruptions for passengers.

The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) is undertaking extensive rehabilitation works at Wilson Airport, including improvements to pavements, aprons and the facility’s two runways.
