Data from the airport indicate that the cargo volumes stood at 8.5 million kilogrammes at February compared to 9.6 million kilogrammes during a similar period last year. There is a fresh bid by various stakeholders and devolved units under North Rift Economic Bloc to increase the exports via the Eldoret International Airport. Currently there are two cargo handlers at the airport- Canken International and Siginon freight handlers with their cold rooms, both, lying idle for lack of exports.
