The number of passengers landing in the country has increased from 4.5 million in 2020 to 6.7 million in 2021, Roads and Transport cabinet secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has said. The downward trajectory, Murkomen stated, was a result of the global economic downturn as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Similarly, the number of aircraft movements in the Kenyan airspaces, the CS stated, rose from 197,428 in the same year to 253,009 the following year. We need to adopt modern-day technology, embrace better customer service, and recode our practices to measure up to the big players,” he stated. As the government, Murkomen said, will invest in modern equipment and systems, modernize airports, and increase passenger capacity to sustain our position as the leader in the aviation sector in the region.
