(eTN) – Kenya President Mwai Kibaki yesterday formally opened the first phase of the new airport in Isiolo. A new hard surface runway of 1.4 kilometers is the first visible sign of the new airport taking shape, due to be expanded to cater to larger jets in the future but for now good enough to accommodate landings and take offs of twin-engine turboprops like the ATR or the Bombardier Q series and smaller corporate jets in use in Kenya.
Construction of a new passenger terminal, able to handle up to 600,000 travelers a year, has also gone underway and is expected to be ready for opening in 2+ years from now.
