Increased Cargo Activity Expected At Kenyan Airports
Growth in cargo and passenger activity as well as recent global security concerns
has necessitated the expansion of the Jomo Kenyatta Internationa Airport (JKIA) and encourage cargo operations at the fairly new Eldoret International Airport. Jomo

and North-South traffic flow.
