Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi was on Monday closed for almost seven hours after a Singapore Airlines cargo plane developed mechanical glitches, leading to a botched take-off on the airport's single runway.
The incident put the busy airport's single runway in the spotlight and the past failed expansion efforts by the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) to handle the increasing number of passengers passing through the region's biggest airport.
