Kenya Airways has disclosed that passengers travelling from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) are experiencing flight delays ranging from two to three hours due to ongoing air traffic control challenges. The airline expressed regret for the disruption to travel plans and informed customers that its teams are collaborating with aviation authorities and airport stakeholders to resolve the issue and reduce inconvenience.
Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has also warned travellers of delays affecting some flights at multiple airports nationwide, stating that they are working with aviation agencies, airlines, and other stakeholders to mitigate the disruption's impact. Passengers are advised to stay patient and contact their airlines for the most recent flight schedule and departure time information.
The delays have been ongoing since a KAA and KCAA staff go-slow on Sunday, causing delays for several dozen flights departing from JKIA as early as 8 am. JKIA, as Kenya's primary international gateway, handles thousands of daily passengers, and travellers are urged to allow extra time for their journeys and confirm their flight status directly with their airlines prior to reaching the airport.
