The hell hole and dark backwaters country called Danganyika
No international airport with no fuel farm! Only in Kenya land!
Most dreamliners require just 1.3 km of runway. Well below what's in Kenya's 6th largest airport Isiolo.
The only thing that makes the dreamliner special or popular is the fuel consumption compared to similar sized planes.

'big bird'?!!The only country in EA where that big bird can land on at least 4 of her airports. Kenya can not fly her dream liners locally.
The so claimed international i.e. Isiolo n kisumu airports don't haveWhy are you telling yourself things? Which international airport doesn't have refuelling?
Isiolo, which doesn't receive many big planes, may not have enough fuel to fill a dreamliner in stock. But that doesn't mean it does't have refuelling infrastructure.
Isiolo n kisumu airports don't have
International flights
Although the PS said the Government could not directly influence passenger growth at the airport citing transit nature of operations, he expressed confidence that expansion and installation of key services would translate into more regular international flights received at the facility.
State woos private sector to grow Kisumu airport
Neither of two runways at Wilson r above 1500m! Automatically disqualified as international airport.You're not making a lot of sense, but know this.
A dreamliner can comfortably land in the following Kenyan airports.
1. JKIA
2. Wilson
3. Mombasa International
4. Eldoret International
5. Kisumu International
6. Isiolo International
Stop being a fool I gave up evidence from runway length to facilities on the ground! Even the governor was complaining. Even Obama left his bird at JKIA n boarder a local aircraft as no hangar exist at Kisumu to protect his jet as security arrangement requires.Kenya is a liberal country. The way your emperor forces companies to list on the stock exchange, our president cannot force airlines to use certain airports.
We leave most things to market forces.
Just because Kisumu doesn't have regular international flights doesn't mean it doesn't have the infrastructure and capacity. When the demand arrives, airlines will follow.
Isiolo was built for agricultural purposes. Especially exporting products like miraa to Somalia, instead of Meru farmers driving all the way to Nairobi.

Whereas Eldoret is for cargo airport though runway permits big PAX aircraft! Not sure whether other facilities necessary for large PAX aircraft are there!
Same applies to Mombasa until now no dreamliner has ever landed there! A reason most demonstration flights for new planes are done between JKIA n KIA.
Liberal countries dont force importers to use a slow moribound SGR to transport their cargo inland. So which liberal contry are you speaking of? 😀Kenya is a liberal country.

That runway is well enough for the airport's capacity, and the infrastructure is of international standards. With our small country and smaller population our airports ziko tu sawa, usijicompare na sisi we are better than you.

Wilson is more international than your JNIA. It is the second busiest airport in Kenya with planes landing from all over the world.
Airlines deploy dreamliners to long haul lucrative routes. If Mombasa does not tick the boxes for an airline, they won't deploy their most prestigious aircraft on this route.
But that is not to say it would be technically impossible to land the dreamliner in Mombasa.

BTW that bird can also land at Ngerengere airforce in Morogoro.

Nimeona tangazo lao fastjet wataanza kutoa refreshment na kuondoa ule utaratibu wao wa zamani wa kulipiaHii ni kutokana na kwamba inapiga ruti za ndani, imesababisha fastjet wakae mkao wa mapambano.

Dar es Salaam. The battle for Tanzanian skies is on as domestic airlines slash fares and resort to other promotional gimmicks in a wave of growing competition.
This comes in the wake of reports that Air Tanzania Company Limited’s market share in domestic aviation has shot to about 20 per cent from 2.5 per cent in October 2016 when it earnestly embarked on the recovery path.
Fastjet’s market share was about 42 per cent in the first quarter of the current calendar year, while PrecisionAir commanded 30 to 40 per cent of the market.
Battle for Tanzania’s skies hots up
Show me a hangar at Kisumu! As that was a reason for a visiting US President or Xmas president's bird to land.Obama came with a very small private jet. Fly 540 operates similar or slightly larger ones from small airports like Kitale and even airstrips.
I'm not privy to Obama's travel arrangements, but I know it had nothing to do with the airport in Kisumu. VIP flight sharing planes come with flight hour restrictions and perhaps Obama prefers to use his hours for longer distances.
In any case, even Air Force One does not require a hangar. On trips, it sits patiently on the tarmac waiting for Potus.
