Jomo Kenyatta International Airport runway has been closed due to aircraft incident, Kenya Airports Authority has said.

KAA in a statement said all passengers aboard the aircraft are safe.

"No injuries have been reported. Removal of the aircraft is underway," KAA said.

KAA apologised for the inconvenience caused and said an update on the same will be issued in due course.

When an airport runway is closed, flights might be delayed, rerouted, or cancelled, depending on the severity and duration of the closure.

Air traffic controllers work to manage the situation and minimise disruptions.

Expanding or adding additional runways requires significant land acquisition and infrastructure development.

JKIA handles a substantial amount of air traffic with efficient scheduling and management.
