The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has been urged to upgrade the runway and other facilities at the Isiolo International Airport to enable more businesses in the region to take advantage of the key infrastructure.

During a tour at the facility by the Lamu Port and Southern Sudan Ethiopia Transport (Lapsset) Corridor Development Authority (LCDA) board members and Isiolo County leaders, it was revealed that the airport - one of the Vision 2030 projects commissioned last year - lacks sufficient aviation lights to allow planes to land or take off at night.
