Travelers passing through Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Wilson Airport on Sunday are advised to prepare for potential delays due to road closures linked to the African Nations Championship (CHAN) matches being hosted in Nairobi.
The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) issued the advisory to ensure passengers can plan accordingly and avoid disruptions.
The ongoing tournament has prompted authorities to implement road closures and restrictions across key routes in the city to facilitate the movement of teams, officials, and fans, as well as to bolster security measures. These measures are expected to cause traffic congestion in several areas.
KAA urges passengers to check their flight schedules and allocate extra time for travel to ensure timely arrivals at the airports. For assistance or further information, travelers can contact KAA Customer Service at JKIA via phone at +254 20 661 1000 or +254 20 661 2000, or email at customercare@kaa.go.ke.
