According to eturbonews, the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority has re-certified Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in accordance with guidelines issued by the International Civil Aviation Organisation.
JKIA was granted an initial certificate in 2008 and has been regularly inspected and issued with renewals by the Kenyan Airports Authority, a mandatory requirement by ICAO for airport operators. Key elements in the inspection and audit process are the existence of updated manuals and the adherence and compliance, with emphasis on safety and security management.
JKIA has not been given FAA Category One status, largely due to the airport’s current inability to separate the passenger streams, which focuses on keeping arriving passengers apart from departing passengers.
JKIA is currently undergoing substantial building, as it looks to complete the new Terminal Four before embarking on the construction of a new runway and a new “mega terminal”, which is estimated to cost about $650 million. Terminal Four is expected to open some time in mid-2014, at which stage the current terminals one to three will be refurbished and upgraded.
