There’s nothing quite like the excitement of a planned trip, whether it’s for business, family, or a much-needed holiday. But for many Kenyans, that excitement can quickly turn into a familiar sigh when faced with flight delays at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). Kenya Airways (KQ) has issued a heads-up, advising passengers to brace for potential delays of up to four hours on departures from JKIA, citing operational issues within air traffic control.
This news, while unwelcome, is a reality check for anyone planning to fly out of Nairobi. KQ, ever the national carrier, has moved swiftly to adjust its network to mitigate the impact. They are working hand-in-hand with the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) and other airport stakeholders to ensure that while disruptions are inevitable, safety remains paramount and the inconvenience to passengers is minimized.
