Website of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport
KIA is Kenya's largest aviation facility, the busiest airport in East and Central Africa and is the 7th busiest airport in Africa Currently 41 different carriers operate to and from JKIA The airport is located in Embakasi, a suburb 15 km to the south-west of the centre of Nairobi The Mombasa Highway runs adjacent to the airport and is the main access between Nairobi and the airport The airport is served by one terminal building constructed in the 1970’s, the former ‘Embakasi’ Terminal, built in the 1960’s is now used for cargo and as well as a Kenya Air Force training facility. Kenya Airports Authority has ongoing expansion plans for JKIA. The completed expansion has doubled the current size of JKIA to 55,222m² with the new Terminal 4 building yet to be completed. An increase in aircraft parking, which has been a major problem in the past, has improved and additional taxiways have been constructed The arrivals and departures sections are to be totally separated for increased security, and the waiting areas are to be renovated. It is still under debate at government level as to whether the airport needs a second runway Currently there is only one runway (06/24) which is 4,117m (13,507ft) paved in asphalt. The current runway is sufficient to accommodate over 80,000 landings and take-offs per year and in 2008 there were nearly 75,000
