JOMO KENYATTA INTERNATIONAL SET FOR MAJOR RE-NAMING OF TERMINALS
(Posted 20th June 2014)
From the end of June will the Kenya Airport Authority launch the renaming of the various terminals now in use or to be put into use in coming weeks and months, doing away with the familiar ‘Unit 1, Unit 2, Unit 3’ which were in use since the airport was officially launched in 1978.
Regular travelers through Nairobi better memorize the new way how the terminals buildings are being renamed and re-configured to avoid confusion, though assurances were given that in the transition period KAA and airline staff will be especially geared towards helping passengers to find the right terminal building to avoid missing their flights.
PREVIOUS NAME / NUMBER OF TERMINAL NEW NAME / NUMBER OF TERMINAL
TERMINAL 4 TERMINAL 1 A (INTERNATIONAL
DEPARTURES / ARRIVALS)
UNIT 1 TERMINAL 1 B (INT’L DEPARTURES)
UNIT 2 TERMINAL 1 C (INT’L DEPARTURES)
UNIT 3 TERMINAL 1 D (DOMESTIC FLIGHTS)
TEMPORARY ARRIVALS TERMINAL TERMINAL 1 E (INT’L ARRIVALS)
INTERIM TERMINAL (UNDER CONSTRUCTION) TERMINAL 2
GREENFIELD TERMINAL (UNDER CONSTRUCTION) TERMINAL 3
New signage will be put up on the 30th of June to make the transition for regular passengers easier to find their way around the airport following the new numbering system and public notices will be appearing too in the local media in Kenya.
