Travellers are now assured of improved safety and minimal disruptions after the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) launched a state-of-the-art New Generation Aircraft Recovery System at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).

The equipment is the first of its kind in Africa and is designed to rapidly and safely remove disabled aircraft from runways and taxiways, minimizing disruptions and enhancing safety.

The launch marks a significant improvement in the emergency preparedness and operational efficiency at the country's busiest airport.

The system, which was supplied by the AMS Aircraft Recovery Ltd of the United Kingdom, was officially launched on Friday, June 27, in an event flanked by high-profile leaders, including KAA Chairperson Caleb Kositany.
