FAA yaupa Uwanja wa Ndege wa Kimataifa wa Jomo Kenyatta hadhi ya kitengo cha 1

Following years of failed audits and months of delay after the last audit finally put Jomo Kenyatta International Airport into the pass section, news has emerged overnight that Jomo Kenyatta International Airport has at last been cleared by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the coveted Category 1 status.

While it may take some time before actual direct flights will be launched, most likely by Kenya Airways and their SkyTeam alliance partner Delta, the legal foundation is now taken care of. Carriers wishing to offer direct or nonstop flights now have to get designation from their respective home countries and then apply for landing rights, in Kenya for Nairobi and possibly Mombasa, and in the United States at an airport of their choice.

Viwanja vya ndege vichache barani Afrika vina kiwango hiki cha kibali cha kufuata mahitaji ya Amerika, kati yao ni Addis Ababa, Johannesburg, na Casablanca kutaja vituo muhimu vya usafiri wa anga, na Nairobi kujiunga na kilabu hiki cha kipekee bila shaka itasaidia kuimarisha utalii na biashara.

Merika tayari iliibuka mwaka jana kama soko kuu la Kenya kwa watalii, ikiipitisha Uingereza kutoka ambapo ndege za kukodisha kwenda Mombasa bado hazijarudi katika viwango vya miaka iliyopita.

Kama hii ilibadilika kuwa maendeleo ya habari, wadau wa utalii hawajapata wakati wa kujibu kwa hatua hii.
