Wednesday, 23rd December 2009 – Kenya Airways would like to inform all its esteemed customers and stakeholders that it has resumed night operations into and out of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. (JKIA)

The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) – the aviation regulatory authority – has advised that the runway lighting system has been restored and now meets ICAO standards and Kenya airways safety requirements, therefore it is safe for the planes to takeoff and land at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport at night.

Kenya Airways suspended its services on Tuesday following a NOTAM (Notice to Air Men) from KCAA that the runway threshold lights at JKIA do not meet the minimum requirements for a safe night operations as required by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

Kenya Airways would like to thank KCAA and the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) for the quick response in restoring services at JKIA.

Any inconvenience caused to all our passengers is highly regretted especially during this festive season.
