The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has announced that the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport’s (JKIA) exit has been closed.
The authority directed all vehicles to use JKIA main entrance to access and exit the airport indefinitely.
In a statement on Sunday, April 28, KAA noted that the ongoing heavy rainfall experienced in Nairobi has led to flooding at JKIA’s Tower Avenue Underpass.
“Normal flight operations at the airport are still ongoing, and access to all terminals remains available. However, due to the situation, traffic is expected to be heavier than usual.
“We advise all vehicles to use the main entrance to access and exit the airport until further notice,” read the statement in part.
KAA noted that security teams and the Police have cordoned off the affected area to ensure the safety of all airport users and personnel.
“We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we diligently manage this situation,” KAA added.
