Nairobi-Atlanta Flights On The Horizon?

Jomo Kenyatta International Airport’s new terminal may be what’s needed to launch a direct Atlanta-Nairobi, Kenya, flight, Raila Odinga, the East African country’s prime minister, told GlobalAtlanta while visiting Atlanta April 26.

Mr. Odinga said a major concern of the U.S. Transportation Security Administration is that arriving and departing passengers to and from Nairobi’s airport must remain separated.

“The new terminal will be able to do that,” he added, “and it is to be completed in four months.”

The Kenyatta airport’s expansion began last year and is expected to handle 9 million passengers a year from the current traffic of more than 6 million passengers.
