Zanzibar now East Africa's 4th largest airport

If you are talking about capacity, then mention it. Don't say largest.

Talking of capacity, JKIA still has higher capacity than JNIA on top of being over 3 times busier. JKIA has a capacity of 7.5M passengers while JNIA has a capacity of 6M passengers. Pre-covid, JKIA handled 8.1M passengers (slightly above capacity) while JNIA handled 2.5M passengers (below capacity).

I don't know what you use to judge the modernity of an airport unless you can give us the technology available at JNIA that is not available at JKIA.
 
Hahahaha, when we say Kenya is building the biggest port in East Africa (Lamu), we refer it's capacity to handle the cargo even if the port is not in use still under construction.

Capacity is from design, it is something which is pre-planned from planning stages of construction, it doesn't depend with numbers of Passengers.

Capacity of JKIA is 6-7M pax per year, but sometimes it saves up to 9M per year, it means it works beyond its capacity.

JNIA capacity is 9M while JKIA is 7M. JNIA works under its capacity while JKIA works over it's capacity.

Note:
JNIA is the biggest in terms of capacity
JNIA handles more passengers(Busier) than JNIA

First of all, JKIA capacity is 7.5M, JNIAs capacity it 6M yet JNIA handles only 2.5M while JKIA handles 9M. Which makes me wonder, aren't you guys building white elephants since all your airports are operating below capacity despite not having that much high capacity?

JNIA Capacity

JKIA Capacity

Secondly, I already explained when talking about capacity, you must mention it. Yes, Kenya is building the biggest port in East Africa, but Google the biggest ports in the world/Africa/East Africa and see what pops up. It's the quantity of vessels and cargo that is used to gauge - not the size of the infrastructure.
 
I thank you for accepting the difference between "Capacity of Airport vs number of PAX Who pass yearly, next time please don't mix them.

JNIA is the biggest in east Africa next to Bole in Ethiopia
1)JNIA terminal one capacity 500K
2)JNIA terminal two capacity 2.5M
3)JNIA terminal three capacity 6M
Total capacity. 9M

You are the one mixing them.
So can we agree the terminal is a white elephant considering the whole airport only manages 2.5M passengers?
 
JKIA, which serves as an aviation hub in the region, opened in 1978 with an annual passenger capacity of 2.5 million.

The construction of new terminals in the last four years has boosted that to 6 million.

 
Habari za 2017 sasa. Wtf. Get 2019 data from kenya Civil aviation authority

Reuters is referring to 2017 numbers.

It is very well known that Kenyans are poor in reasoning, but this is outrageous. What is discussed is the capacity of JKIA not number of passengers handled.

Hahahaha, the capacity of JNIA is 9M, while that of JKIA is only 7M.

Conclusion: JNIA is the biggest and Modern Airport in East and Central Africa.

Then why are you still at 2.5M passengers? Why is JKIA handling more passengers than all Tanzanian airports combined?
 
Are you playing stupid or you didn't understand the question?
Doesn't matter how many passengers pass through JNIA, just to show you that we are at another level, we have more than we need in everything thing: Food, Airport, Peace, arable land, stability, unity, Hospitals.

Building bigger airports than you need while your country is full of poverty with almost no infrastructure in the middle of the country? πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚

You don't have more food and hospitals than you need. You are a poor country that has consistently been ranked among the least developed in the world. You have a poor aviation industry and you expand an airport for show off. You are the capital of White Elephants.
