Kenya Airways was Thursday morning forced to divert some inbound flights scheduled to land at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
In a statement dated April 17, the national carrier said several flights scheduled to land at JKIA were rerouted to Mombasa and Kilimanjaro airports due to poor visibility. "We wish to inform our customers that due to poor visibility caused by fog this morning, some of our flights scheduled to land at JKIA were diverted to Mombasa and Kilimanjaro," KQ said. The airline noted that the diversions were made in the interest of safety for both passengers and crew.
KQ also issued an apology to the affected passengers and warned of expected delays in arrivals and departures throughout the day. "We expect some delays today for certain flight departures and arrivals.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused." The disruption comes amid weather challenges.
