ATCNews has received information about a Notam that Wilson Airport will be closed from 1000hrs to 1500hrs East African Time on Tuesday the 12th December 2023.
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport will also be closed between 1130hrs to 1330hrs.
The annual public holiday celebrated on this day is #JamhuriDay, or Independence Day, and aerial displays by the country’s airforce are expected to take place during the national celebrations, prompting other air traffic to be halted for safety reasons.
Passengers expected to fly into or out of Wilson Airport on their Beach and Bush flights, but also passengers expected to fly into or out of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, are urged to contact their airlines and / or travel agents immediately to learn about any rescheduling of their flights to an either earlier or later time. This will ensure that pick ups and drop offs are not missed and flights are not missed altogether.
ATCNews extends best wishes to all our Kenyan friends on the occasion.
