The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) is set to undergo a Ksh963 million revamp to improve passenger experience, the Kenya Airports Authority has said.
The renovation will be undertaken at terminals 1B and 1C for a period of 12 months. The project seeks to refurbish the departure halls t
In a statement on Thursday, Gitari said the significant renovation will be carried out at the airport’s Terminals 1B and 1C.
“To minimise inconveniences, passengers have been requested to arrive at the airport at least four hours before their flight departures,” said Mr Gitari.
The project is estimated to cost Sh963 million and aims to refurbish the departure halls to improve check-in, security screening, retail operations, and passenger lounge experience.
According to KAA, once completed, the newly renovated light-filled departure terminals will deliver modern concessions and amenities to give travellers a friendly and more memorable experience.
The improvements are further expected to ease passenger flow and increase efficiency due to the centralisation of security screening procedures and reallocation of available floor spaces to international departure gates.
