Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen has issued an update on the stalled Cargo plane at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
According to the CS, officials are working to have the plane removed from the runway to allow the resumption of business.
"We are doing everything possible to remove the aircraft from the runway and resume normal business. Thank you for your patience," Murkomen said.
He was responding to the statement by KAA.
On Monday morning, the Kenya Airports Authority announced that flights into, and out of JKIA had been temporarily suspended.
KAA said the runway closure resulted from an aborted take-off by a cargo plane after it developed technical hitches.
The authority insisted that their priority is the safety of passengers and that they are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
"Our top priority is the safety of all passengers and we are working closely with the relevant authorities to resolve this situation as quickly and safely as possible. As a result of the runway closure, all incoming and outgoing flights have been temporarily suspended," KAA said.
Passengers have been advised to contact their respective airlines for further information on the status of their flights.
"We regret any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding."
