The plans of putting up the second runway at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) appear to be fizzling out as the government shifts priority to expansion of the existing terminals as it targets to increase the number of passengers using the facility.
Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia said the focus at the moment is to increase the number of passengers from the current 7.5 million travellers annually to 12 million as Kenya seeks to make JKIA a regional hub.
