Opening Kenya’s Skies: Safer, Faster, and Smarter Air Travel for All
Kenya is modernizing its aviation system to make air travel safer, faster, and more accessible. This initiative is to facilitate the expeditious and safe movement of aircraft in Kenya’s airspace and to improve passenger handling services at airports and airstrips.
The result - a smoother travel experience, better safety standards, and easier movement of people, goods, and services across the country and beyond.
Why It Matters
When our skies work better, everything below them works better too. Modern airports connect families, shorten business trips, and unlock opportunities for remote regions. Fresh produce reaches international shelves on time, tourists access hidden gems across the country, and emergency flights can respond faster in times of need. Civil aviation is a lifeline for trade, healthcare, tourism, and national development thus helping position Kenya as a true gateway to Africa.
