National carrier Kenya Airways and the Kenya Airports Authority have issued warnings to travelers over the Tuesday demonstrations that have been indicated to target the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
The cautions come in the wake of viral social media messages that indicate that demonstrators will aim to occupy the JKIA in the Tuesday demos against the government of President William Ruto.
“Due to anticipated traffic disruptions on major roads leading to JKIA on Tuesday, customers are advised to arrive at the airport at least four hours before their scheduled flight departure time,” said Kenya Airways in a statement.
“Customers are also encouraged to plan extra time to avoid potential delays enroute to the airport. While we are doing everything possible to ensure our flights depart and arrive on schedule, customers are advised to expect some delays in their departure and arrival times that could be impacted by these traffic disruptions.”
