IV Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess the extent of emergency preparedness at Kisumu airport, especially in light of the foreseen increase in risks due to increased flight operations once the current ongoing infrastructural upgrading activities are completed. This is also against the backdrop of a recent surge in aviation accidents and incidents occurring within the Kenyan airspace that require better preparedness efforts to reduce disaster damage. The study employed a case study design with the population of interest being the emergency preparedness stakeholders at Kisumu airport. Questionnaires were used to collect data from on aerodrome respondents whereas interviews were used to collect data from selected key informants within and without the aerodrome. Data was analysed both quantitatively through descriptive statistics and qualitatively through themes. The results were presented by use of tables and general statements derived from themes. The study found out that whilst the aerodrome had put in place some measures to ensure emergency preparedness, it still remained elusive. This was mainly evidenced by failure to undertake regular drills, inadequate resources especially marine rescue and medical aid related, limited community participation, limited collaboration among stakeholders, and insufficiency on adherence to regulations. The study concluded that though the aerodrome was found to be prepared for emergencies in some aspects, much more still remains to be done. Consequently, to enhance emergency preparedness the organizations concerned are advised to allocate more resources, undertake regular drills, conduct continuous staff and public awareness trainings, strengthen interagency coordination, address staff welfare issues, decentralize decision making, ensure adherence to regulations, establish aerodrome owned marine unit and improve navigation and berthing in Lake Victoria. v Table of Contents Title....................- ........................................................................................................................i Declaration................................................................................................................................. ii Dedication................................................................................................................................... iii Acknowledgements.....................................................................................................................iv Abstract........................................................................................................................................v Table of Contents........................................................................................................................ vi List of Tables and Figures...........................................................................................................viii Acronyms and Abbreviations.......................................................................................................x CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION................................................................................................. 1 1.1 Background to the study.....................................................................................................1 1.2 Problem Statement............................................................................................................ 3 1.3 Objectives of the Study......................................................................................................6 1.4 Significance of the Study.................................................................................................... 6 1.5 Scope and Limitations of the Study................................................................................... 7 1.6 Definition of Key Terms...................................................................................................... 7 CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW........................................................................................ 9 2.1 Concept of Emergency Preparedness............................................................................. 9 2.2 A Structure for Emergency Preparedness.....................................................................10 2.3 Emergency Preparedness Measures............................................................................. 11 2.3.1.

    Journal of Air Transportation Vol. 11, No. 1 -2006 THE DEVELOPMENT OF JOMO KENYATTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AS A REGIONAL AVIATION HUB Evaristus M. Irandu University of Nairobi Nairobi, Kenya Dawna L. Rhoades Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Daytona Beach, Florida ABSTRACT Air transportation plays an important role in the social and economic development of the global system and the countries that seek to participate in it. As Africa seeks to take its place in the global economy, it is increasingly looking to aviation as the primary means of connecting its people and goods with the world. It has been suggested that Africa as a continent needs to move toward a system of hubs to optimize its scarce resources. Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya, is one of the airports in the eastern region of Africa that is seeking to fill this role. This paper discusses the prospects for success and the challenges that it will need to overcome, including projections through 2020 for the growth in passenger and cargo traffic. _____________________________________________________________________________ Evaristus M. Irandu received his Ph.D. in Transport Geography from the University of Nairobi.

  • How KANU Government Sold Airports
    How KANU government sold Airports By KEN OPALA As far as aviation standards go, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is a hub of flying. Planes take off and land one after the other, leaving a buzz and hum of smooth travel and an organisation at peace with itself. Yet unknown to the millions of people who use this facility every year, a good chunk of the land that Africa’s busiest airport sits, including a planned runway, is owned by private individuals who can wake up one day and claim their plots. Our investigations have revealed that more than 250 plots have been hived off land belonging to various airports in the country – more than half of them at JKIA – and sold to private individuals, most of it during the era of President Moi. If the demolition of upmarket homes in Nairobi’s Syokimau shocked the nation last November, the grabbing of land belonging to Kenya’s key airports is deeper and unprecedented. This development raises questions about plans by the Kenya Airports Authority — the quasi- statutory corporation in charge of the country’s airspace and air facilities — to expand and modernise its key aviation facilities countrywide, given that private developers have taken up plots earmarked for airport expansion and modernisation. Extensive investigation and examination of documents, The Nairobi Law Monthly can reveal that land merchants have targeted nearly all airports countrywide. Our investigations show that the scandal that was Syokimau stretched beyond the allocation of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) land to just three parties — Mlolongo Brothers Association, Jumbo Housing and Uungani Settlement Scheme.
