KAA to Spend KSh350 Million on Wilson Runway Repairs

The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has announced plans to repair the potholes on Wilson Airport runway, an activity that is set to cost the authority KSh 350 million.

However, the authority did not reveal the period over which the repairs will be complete.

The move is aimed at reducing plane mishaps such as sliding that occur during take-off.

As reported by Business Daily, major works on the project will start once local firms with planes exceeding seven tonnes operating at Wilson airport relocate to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) Nairobi.

Domestic flights constitute 90% of the total flights from the Airport with international flights accounting for 10%.

Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) is the owner and operator of civilian airports and airstrips in Kenya. Its head office is on the property of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Embakasi, Nairobi.
