Visitors via JKIA hit 8-year low amid mega expansion
Visitor arrivals at Kenya’s two main airports have dropped to the lowest level in eight years, reflecting how badly the travel industry has been damaged by a spate of terrorist attacks that have killed hundreds.
The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Mombasa’s Moi International Airport recorded arrivals of 231,038 visitors in the first four months of the year, a 29.4 per cent drop from 2014, says Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) data.
