The number of international visitors arriving at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) has risen significantly, reinforcing Kenya's reputation as one of the world's most preferred travel destinations.
According to a report by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) published on Tuesday, 18 February, the total number of passengers arriving at the country's main airport increased by 1.9 per cent in 2024 compared to 2023.
JKIA, a key entry point alongside Moi and Kisumu International Airports, handled 1,507,836 visitors last year, up from 1,478,396 in 2023.
The rise in international passenger arrivals is likely due to increased demand for air travel, supported by a higher number of international airlines operating at the airport.
