Today as I was going through some of the yearly reports from Tanzanian National Bureau of Statistics, I came to realize that JKIA is handling more passengers than all the airports in Tanzania combined. The report from the NBS stated that in 2019 Tanzanian airports handled a combined passenger number of 5.5 million which is 3 million less than what JKIA alone handled in 2019.
In Tanzania the busiest airport last year was JNIA which handled a total of 2.3 million passengers (1,176,000 international passengers and 1,145,000 domestic passengers). To make the work easier, let me start by showing you the performance of JKIA in 2019 as reported by the Kenya Bureau of Statistics.
The second table is from NBS and this how the airports performed.
1. JNIA -2.3M
2. Abeid Amani Karume International airport- 1.4m
3. Kilimanjaro -777,000
MY TAKE
Kenya with a population less than that of Tanzania has twice the number of domestic travellers (4.9m) as compared to Tz(2.9).
QUESTION
Where is the biggest airport in East Africa Community?
