The Kenya Airport Authority (KAA) has sounded an alarm over flight delays in all airports countrywide, urging passengers to check in with their airlines before heading out for their journeys.

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

This was through a statement obtained by  Kenyans.co.ke   on August 31, confirming that a number of departing flights across the country's airports are currently running late.

“Kenya Airports Authority PLC wishes to advise passengers and other airport users that some departing flights are currently experiencing delays at our airports,” KAA stated.

KAA did not name specific airports or airlines affected, nor the cause of the delays, but the advisory appears to cover all airports currently under its management nationwide.

Kenyans.co.ke has since learnt that part of the delays has been caused by a workers' go-slow in some airports.

Passengers have been told to get in touch directly with their respective airlines for the latest flight updates, instead of assuming their original schedules still stand.

“Passengers are advised to contact their respective Airlines for the latest information on their flight status and to plan their journeys accordingly,” KAA added.

For normalcy to resume, KAA says it is working hand in hand with relevant aviation agencies, airlines, and other stakeholders to contain the disruption.

The goal, according to the authority, is to minimise inconvenience to travellers and keep airport operations flowing as smoothly as possible under the circumstances.

This incident adds to the growing list of flight delays experienced in the country’s airports over the past several months. On August 17, surging passenger volumes overwhelmed JKIA's capacity, causing hours-long queues at immigration and check-in.
