Kenya Airways announced on Thursday morning that several flights scheduled to land at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) were diverted to Mombasa and Kilimanjaro due to poor visibility from adverse weather conditions.
In a statement, the airline advised passengers to expect delays in both departures and arrivals in Nairobi. Kenya Airways assured that all necessary measures were being taken to ensure passenger safety and well-being.
“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 in part.
“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.”
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.
