Kenya Airways has experienced disruptions to several of its scheduled flights following heavy overnight rains in Nairobi and the surrounding areas.

In a statement, the Airline said some flights were diverted to Mombasa due to the adverse weather conditions, and additional flights scheduled for today have also been affected.

“The heavy overnight downpour in parts of Nairobi and its environs caused disruption to some of our scheduled flights. Due to the adverse weather conditions, some of our flights were also diverted to Mombasa. These disruptions have also affected some of our scheduled flights for today,” Kenya Airways said.

Passengers travelling out of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) have been advised to monitor their flight schedules closely as the airline works to restore normal operations later in the evening.

“If you are travelling out of JKIA today, please be aware that your flight schedule may change. Our teams are working hard to get everything back to normal as soon as possible,” adds another part of the statement.
