The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) will hold public meetings in July 2025 to gather views on the proposed development of Integrated Master Plans for Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Wilson Airport.

The planned developments include a Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (SESA) carried out by Dar Al Handasah Consultants (Shair and Partners) and Geodev (K) Ltd.

The exercise is being conducted in line with the Environmental Management and Coordination Act, 1999.

According to KAA, “The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) is developing the Integrated Master Plans for Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Wilson Airport (WAP) to guide future developments and enhance service delivery. This master planning process includes a comprehensive Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (SESA) being undertaken by Dar Al Handasah Consultants (Shair and Partners) and Geodev (K) Ltd, in accordance with the guidelines of the Environmental Management and Coordination Act, 1999.”

The assessment will involve neighbouring communities, institutions, and individuals with an interest in the airports’ operations.
