Terminal 1E reopened at JKIA following temporarily closure over fire incident

The Kenya Airport Authority (KAA) has reopened Terminal 1E at the country’s main international airport following its closure earlier today morning after a non-injury fire incident linked to an electrical fault.

“Further to our earlier statement, we’re pleased to announce that Terminal 1E (T1E) at JKIA is now fully operational.” KAA has said.

KAA said response teams contained the fire at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and no casualties were reported.

In its earlier statement, KAA had moved flight operations from Terminal 1E to Terminal 1A for continuity.

“To mitigate any inconvenience this may cause, all flight arrival operations have been redirected to Terminal 1A until further notice,” KAA stated in an update earlier this morning.
