Kenya Airways Diverts Flights from JKIA Due to Poor Visibility

On Thursday morning, Kenya Airways (KQ) was forced to divert a number of flights scheduled to land at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi to Mombasa and Kilimanjaro airports due to poor visibility caused by adverse weather conditions.

In a statement, KQ explained that passengers should expect delays in both departures and arrivals at the Nairobi airport, but assured them that all necessary safety measures had been taken, and the well-being of their crew and customers remains the top priority.

“We wish to inform our customers that we have this morning, diverted to Mombasa and Kilimanjaro, some of our flights that were scheduled to land at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. This is due to poor visibility caused by adverse weather conditions,” the statement read.

“As a result, we expect some delays in departures and arrivals in Nairobi. We understand that this may cause inconvenience, but please be assured that we have taken all necessary safety measures and the well-being of our crew, and customers are our number one priority.” The statement added

A spot-check on Flight Radar 24 showed that from 5:00 am, nine flights were diverted from JKIA, four were cancelled, and four experienced delays.
