Flights have been disrupted at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi due to bad weather.
Several planes that were scheduled to touch down at the busy airport on Thursday morning were diverted to alternative airports, including Moi in Mombasa.
FOG
Kenya Airways, in a Twitter update, said the flights had been disrupted and diverted due to “poor visibility caused by fog.”
As at 8.50am, five flights had been diverted, from the busy JKIA.
Among those whose arrival time had been rescheduled after the diversion are KQ311 from Dubai, which will now land at 9.30am, KQ117 from Amsterdam, which will now hit the ground 10 minutes later.
