The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has completed the first phase of an upgrade of the Diani Airport (formerly Ukunda Airstrip) in a drive to attract more visitors to the South Coast.
Works on the project, which entailed extending the existing 1.2-km runway by 200 metres and building an apron, saw the aviation agency spend Sh173 million on the project, which started in 2020. Cementors Limited rehabilitated the airstrip.
