The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has unveiled major plans that are aimed at tackling delays at the airports as Kenya anticipates a significant rise on number of visitors and cargo passing through Kenya's airports.

The airports have seen an increase in passenger numbers, rising from 12.1 million in 2024 to 13.1 million in 2025.

Last year, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) handled nine million passengers while Moi International Airport (MIA) handled 1.8 million. KAA officials said the number of passengers handled at MIA is just a fraction of what they can handle.

"With this increase of passengers, KAA cannot wait but to act by coming up with ideas on how to facilitate and satisfy the needs of travellers using our airports," said KAA Managing Director Moses Wekesa.
