Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) has been ranked as the best airport in Africa and 38th globally in the recent worldwide rankings 2018 done by Airhelp.

The ranking was based on assessment of the quality of service, on-time performance, and the passenger experience of a given airport.

AirHelp examined data from December 22, 2017, to March 20, 2018, factoring in delayed and cancelled flights, public reviews from trustworthy sources and social media sentiment analysis.


On this account, JKIA emerged the best by scoring highly, flooring its African peers and hosts of globally respected airports. JKIA scored an overall 7.9 out of 10, 8.3 on-time performance, 7.2 quality of service, and 9.3 on passenger sentiments.

This was an improvement from last year’s scores. Kenya Airports Authority Managing Director Jonny Andersen termed the recognition timely, coming at a time when JKIA is undergoing major upgrading and modernisation works.

He was also upbeat about the direct flights between Kenya and the US expected in October this year, saying they would boost passenger traffic in and out of JKIA.

Wenzetu bado wanatupa stori ndefu kuwa airport yao ni nzuri lakini sijui mbona bado haijazinduliwa. Au contractor hajalipwa? Ama airport yao imekuwa white elephant? Anyway, wakati wanajenga airport yao, Airport yetu inapata ranking ya kuwa bora zaidi Africa nzima. Watanzania mmekaribishwa Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, the best airport in Africa.

We Geza hii tulijibu conclusively.
An airport handlng 2 aircraft a day will always win in safety, especially when pitched against airports handling 100 aircraft a day.

So wilson or Entebbe are safer than JKIA based on traffic? Pedestrian thinking and mediocrity cannot be cured. Thats why you believe Some Juakali Ratings instead of ICAO

Enda mkashindane na Entebbe.
Don't involve the big boys kwa hizo ranking za kijinga.
Airports efficiency is measured by punctuality, cancellations and other related metrics.

 

[nairobae]

Watu hawana hata air traffic na wanaropokwa hapa, JKIA is way out of their league. Wacha hizo direct flights to USA zianze more international routes will open up.

Kwenye discussion huwa kennedy0000 hajibuji HOJA. Ona sasa umemuuliza a very logic question regarding a traffic based assessment. Anaanza KUONGEA makolokochoo.
