Kenya will this month know if it qualifies for the final audit of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to pave way for direct flights to the United States.
The US’s Federal Aviation Administration inspectors are expected in the country to assess the aviation security situation, operation capacity of JKIA and the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority’s capacity.
“We expect the inspectors mid September. Once they see what we have done and are satisfied, they will give us a date for the final audit,” KCAA director general Gilbert Kibe told the Star.
Kenya has to meet eight critical elements under the FAA’s Administration’s International Aviation Safety Assessment procedure.
