Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has raised the alarm over possible bird strikes on aircraft using the Kisumu International Airport following the relocation of the county dumpsite to a flight path.

General manager in charge of operations and safety Harrison Machio said the new dumpsite is within 13km radius from the airport. Kisumu moved the dumpsite from Kachok, which is about 2km from the town centre, to Kajulu 7km away.
