Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Two terminals at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) have been closed down as renovation works commence at the transport hub.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Saturday, January 16, the Kenya Airport Authority (KAA) stated that Terminal 1B and Terminal 1C would be inaccessible to flight operators and their passengers.<\/p>\n

“All flight operations previously in T1B and T1C have now been migrated to Terminal 1A and Terminal 2,” the authority stated.<\/p>\n

Lufthansa German Airlines, Qatar Airways, Ethiopia Airlines, RwandAir, Air Mozambique, Air Arabia, Turkish Airlines, Egypt Air, British Airways will operate at Terminal 1A.<\/p>\n

Terminal 2 will serve passengers travelling using Air Uganda, UNHAS and Emirates.<\/p>\n

“The terminals will remain closed to pave way for renovation works to upgrade the airport and improve on the passenger experience,” the authority stated.<\/p>\n

KAA assured that is was working closely with all its partner airlines and other stakeholders at JKIA to provide a seamless travel experience<\/p>\n

The refurbishment exercise is expected to take 12 months at a cost of Ksh963 million.<\/p>\n

When complete the terminals will have improved check-in, security screening, retail operations as well as lounge experience for departing passengers.<\/p>\n

The passenger flow will be enhanced due to the centralisation of security screening procedures and the reallocation of available floor spaces to international departure gates.<\/p>\n

KAA acting CEO Alex Gitari noted that the refurbishment aims to improve customer experience in the airport.<\/p>\n

“The remodeling project is an integral part of the ongoing JKIA Customer Service Improvement Plan (CSIP) which was formulated from feedback from our stakeholders and customers,” he noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
