NAIROBI AIRPORT ANNUAL REPORT 1967

Review of the Y ear

The year 1967 witnessed yet another rapid increase in civil aircraft movements, passengers, freight and fuel consumption. Two new , Trans World Airlines and started to operate to and from the Nairobi Airport. This makes it possible for travellers from Kenya to have easy connexions at Geneva by travelling Trans World Airlines, with a connexion to central Europe through Vienna, by travelling with Sabena.

During the yea.r, the national airline, East African Airways operated their Super VC lOs on international flights, which included a new route to Bangkok. The Cornets owned by the airline mainly operated on continental routes.

There was a decrease of 64.2 per cent in military aircraft movements over the previous year because the oil airlift to Zambia bad ceased. The detailed percentage increases in the activities at Nairobi Airport is as shown below: Civil aircraft movements 1.8 Passengers handled 19.0 Mail 12.4 Freight 42.3 Aviation fuel uplift 7.4 The above figures reflect that Nairobi Airport is growing rapidly. The details of the growth rates are indicated in the appendices to the report.

This figure is higher than the previous year's by 117,183, and represents an increase of 19 per cent. The movement of military personnel decreased sharply as a result of the reduction of the Royal Air Force movements, and the increased use of the Kenya Air Force Aerodrome at Eastleigh.

Out of the total passengers using the airport, 402,046 passengers were carried by scheduled civil aircraft services, which represent 52 per cent of the total figure. The rest of the pa~ se ngers are accounted for as shown in Table 3 (a) belo w.

Aerodrome Fire Service During the year 1967 the latest foam tender was received. The appliance is the fust of its lcind in the history of Nairobi Airport fire services. Its operation is fully automatic and is capable of producing foam while on the move. This has greatly irnproved the efficiency of the fire service :fleet at the airport. At the beginning of 1967, two tire officers returned from Australia on completion of courses of instruction.

Mioistry of Works; Electrical Department A 24-hour service was maintained by the Electrica1 Department of the Ministry of Works throughout the year 1967. The staff of this branch are on caU for any major or minor breakdowns over 24 hours. There is always a duty inspector in charge of the maintenance team to ensure that prompt attention is given to any electrical fault. New Works.- Work on the New Approach Array was started during the year under review to bring up the whole Approach Lighting System to category No. 2 of the I.C.A.O. regulations.

31 This was done by increasing the number of light bars and rearrangement of the lights to conform with the layout as required by I.C.A.O. standards. In order to raise the standard of the Approach System, work was also started during the year to install a new and more accurate V.O.R. station. (Very high frequency-omnidirectional radio range). The 3.3 kV A. electrical ring main installed in 1965 was also extended by building a new sub-station at the end of Runway 24.

Ministry of Works; Building Maintenance Although very busy during the year 1967 on various maintenance jobs, this section bas undertaken requests for various airline operators at Nairobi and , to modify or construct new offices, footpaths, murram roads, and hardstanding. The following are the major works carried out by our staff.

Eastleigh Airport 1. Bituminization of runways and taxiways-Area 6,000 ft. by 150 ft. 2. A new generator room 15 ft. by 12 ft. was built for K.A.F. 3. Extensive trenching and laying of electric cables for runways' and taxiways' lighting. Wilson Airport Bituminization of runways, aprons, taxiways, one part of the work is completed, and the remaining part will be completed by the end of June 1968.

Nairobi Airport 1. Construction of bases for approach lights to assist aircraft in landing. 2. Levelling of black cotton soil banks to meet more exacting I.L.S. require­ ments of 0.6 end of runway.

E.A. Posts and Telecommunications Administration The Post Office offers a full range of postal services between the hours of 8.30 to 16.30 from Monday to Fridays, and 8.30 to 13 .00 on Saturdays. Lirnited facilities are offered by Messrs. Patwa Embakasi Lirnited in the Transit Lounge who are appointed agents of the Post Office. These facilities include the sale of stamps, acceptance of telegrams, and other postal transactions of a sirnilar nature. The year 1967 saw a total of 1,553,883 kg. of mail compared to 1,382,949 kg. of mail handled during the year 1966. The 1967 figures show an increase of 24.7 per cent over the previous year. Due to the increase of movements at Nairobi Airport it is essential that this facility is open 24 hours. Negotiations are in band between the Post Office officiais and the airport authority to have the hours of operation for these services extended to cover 24 hours. The postal mail handled was divided as follows- kg. Local mail 427,153 Continental mail 182,912 Intercontinental mail 943,818

32 It will be noticed that the local mail continued to rise during the year under review and registered an increase of 11.3 per cent over the previous year.

Health Services (a) Quarantinable Diseases.- A total of 1,0ll visitors came to the country with­ out valid vaccination certificates and of these 613 were without smallpox certi­ ficates, 250 without cholera certificates, and 148 without yellow fever certificates. Those quarantined during the year were 125, where again 40 of them came to visit the country for a few days before continuing to their final destinations on return­ ing. No case was traced to have passed through the airport. (b) Mosquito Control.-There was no Aedes Aegypti found in the airport during the year. (c) Food.- No food-poisoning outbreak occurred from food from the airport. (d) Water.-There was no out break of any of the water-borne diseases occurring attributable to water at the airport. • In general the results of the weekly water samples for bacteriological examination were highly satisfactory.

East African Meteorological Services As in previous years, the East African Meteorological Department, Kenya Region, maintained a 24-hour weather observation and forecast service at Nairobi Airport during 1967. Half-hourly routine reports and appropriate special reports on the airfield weather have been provided. All flights from and to Nairobi Airport have been issued with ftight-planning information and flight documentation. Departing crews have been provided with instrumental briefing facilities, such as display of current weather (radar), cloud height (ceilograph), wind and temperature at the airfield. A long-term plan on general improvements of the meteorological facilities came to fruition in December when a new observatory and instrument enclosure were opened. These are situation 500 feet from the holding apron near the approach to Runway 06. Fïüm there, the observer has an unobstructed view over the approach and touchdown zones of the instrument runway. Another step forward was the introduction of Runway Visual Range reporting with effect from 22nd December. These reports provide detailed information on the visibility along the runway and allow aircraft operators to land and take off at lower weather limits. The department maintained close liaison with ail airline operators, the Direc­ torate of Civil Aviation and the airport authorities.

This represents an increase of 10.3 percent. The number of aircraft handled by Immigration was 7,239, compared with 7,108 handled in 1966. This represents an increase of 1.6 per cent. During the same period the total number of passengers travelling inter­ territorially and handled by Immigration rose from 41,556 in 1966 to 53,529, an increase of 28.3 per cent. These are classified as follows-

P.A.B.X. The year 1967 was a very busy year for the P.A.B.X. It became more evident during ·the year that other equipment with more positions giving more outside lines was required as a matter of urgency. This was demonstrated by the delays caused in the whole telephone network at the airport. It is intended to transfer the Jogoo House equipment as soon as the installation of the new telephone equipment is completed in the new extension of the house. It is hoped that this will provide an extra 31 outside lines and about 300 internai extensions. During the busy periods the P.A.B.X. handles more than 9,600 incoming and outgoing local calls a day, which is about 400 caUs an hour. For the trunk caUs within East Africa they average to 30 calls a day. The daily average for the international calls passing through our P.A.B.X. is about three per day.

PART IV-BUSINESS MANAGEMENT, NAIROBI AffiPORT Revenue The airport revenue collected showed a steady increase. Below are the workiog accounts for the financial year 1966/67.

36 Accommodation.- A general shortage of office accommodation was experienced during the year 1967. The Airport Authority at present, were unable to accede to many requests frcm airlines and other organizations for both office and freight accommodation. The situation is being looked into. The registration of leases for office accommodation by the Registrar of Titles was introduced du ring the year 1967. This was carried out smoothly and received maximum co-operation from aU the parties concerned. Catering.- NAS /Caterair are the concessionaires for all the airport restaurants and uplift catering. Due to the growth of aircraft movements NAS /Caterair star­ ted to construct a modern and most hygienic kitchen. It is expected that this kitchen will be in operation by May 1968. An increase of revenue from this source was also noticed and recorded at 13.2 percent over the previous year. Amenities.-- The following amenities were in operation for 24 hours during the year 1967-- (a) The Waving Base. (b) The shops in the Transit Lounge and Main Concourse. (c) The Banki.ng Facilities.-Foreign currencies were exchanged, and banking facilities were provided to passengers and airport employees by the Barclays Bank D.C.O., the concessionaires. The bank is open for 18 hours daily including Sundays and Public Holidays. Advertising.- Revenuc from advertisements was on the increase. The total revenue obtained showed an increase of 11 per cent over the year 1966. Many firms are turning to Neon percepts as a better form of advertising. While giving extra revenue this form of advertising has improved the look of the Terminal Building.

37 PART V-MOMBASA AIRPORT

General Mombasa is the second international airport in Kenya. The importance of this airport became evident during the year 1965 when many tour operators and scheduled airlines indicated their interest in Port Reitz. Statistics show that the Government bas turned down approximately 300 requests from airlines to land at Mombasa due to the fact that the L.C.N., (Load Classification Number) of the runway and the apron is not high enough to support the weight of certain aircraft. The Government is very much concerned about the development and expansion of Mombasa. To this end a team of consultants was requested during the year to make studies and recommend to Government wbat steps should be taken to develop the airport.

Administration During the year under review the administration of the airport fell under the Provincial Engineer, Coast Province. The national airline, East African Airways was responsible for the movement of baggage, passengers and aircraft at the airport. The Fire Service was under the Airport Manager, Nairobi, and the Air Traffic Control was the responsibility of the Directorate of Civil Aviation. Future Plans on Administration.-Arrangements are under way to unify the administration of Mombasa and it is hoped that an Airport Manager will be posted to the station during the year 1968.

Air Traffic Control A total of 16,644 aircraft movements were handled by the Air Traffic Control during the year 1967. This is 2,300 movements more tban those bandled during the year 1966 wbich represents an increase of 16.2 per cent. Among these 373 were military movements. Charter movements realized were 2,369. Table 5 below shows a summary of aircraft movements at Mombasa Airport. Table 6 shows passenger freight and mail movements at Mombasa Airport during the year under review, while Table 7 shows comparative figures of traffic movements at the four international airports in East Africa.

Passeoger Freight and Mail Passengers.-The year 1967 shows a decline in passenger movements. The year saw 127,192 passengers recorded to bave passed througb Mombasa Airport which is 2,048 Jess than those handled last year. lt is probable that the decrease is due to less charter movements between Europe and Mombasa due to the facilities offered at the airport. Sorne of the tour passengers preferred to travel by road to Mombasa, thereby reducing the number of passengers travelling by air between Nairobi and Mombasa. Freight and Mail.- The re was an increase of 2,079,376 kg of freight bandled during the year, compared with 1,600 , 721 kg. handled du ring the previous year. The mail bandled increased to 141,177 kg., by 9,015 kg. during the year 19'67, giving a representation of 6.9 per cent. We anticipate that freight and mail bandled at this airport would increase drastically when new facilities are provided.
