Kenya Airports Authority

Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) functions as the national owner and operator of all commercial aerodromes within Kenya. It occupies a critical position in the regional aerospace value chain by providing the essential ground infrastructure, airside management, and security services required for international and domestic civil aviation. The authority is responsible for the strategic development of aviation gateways, managing everything from runway maintenance to passenger terminal operations and cargo logistics facilities. The organisation manages a portfolio that includes Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi, which serves as a primary hub for Kenya Airways and a major transit point for East African commerce. Other key assets include Moi International Airport in Mombasa, Eldoret International Airport, and Kisumu International Airport. The authority maintains operational relationships with the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) and various international carriers operating within the East African Community (EAC) airspace. Prospective partners or service providers should verify the current status of the National Aviation Policy and any ongoing restructuring efforts regarding the proposed merger of national aviation assets. Before engaging in infrastructure projects, buyers must confirm specific procurement compliance under Kenyan public-private partnership frameworks and the current operational capacity ratings of the specific airfield in question.
