Kenya Airports Authority’s plan to build a second runway at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport has gathered speed with the national environment regulator inviting public input on the project before its approval.
In a gazette notice on Friday, the National Environment Management Authority, released the environmental impact assessment report for the 5.5km runway at the airport inviting public opinion.
The second runway, whose construction was to start last year at a cost of Sh13 billion, is expected to facilitate direct travels to long haul destinations.
NON-STOP FLIGHTS
It was meant to open non-stop flights between Kenya and United States, but its construction has delayed since June 2013 due to funding hitches.
The runway will comprise a 45-metre pavement and will be 5.5 kilometres long with shoulders, drainage and taxi ways.
