Emergency Teams Deployed at Moi International Airport

The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has deployed emergency teams at Moi International Airport in response to an incident involving an aircraft.
In a brief statement on Wednesday, KAA noted that emergency teams were on the ground managing the situation involving an aircraft.
“Airport emergency services are currently responding to an incident involving an aircraft at Moi International Airport. The situation is being managed by first responders,” read the statement.
KAA added that more information would be shared once confirmed, urging the public to follow official channels for updates. However, it did not clarify the nature and particulars of the incident.
Kenyans.co.kehas, however, learnt that the incident is part of an emergency drill at the airport.
In September 2024, operations were brought to a standstill at the Moi International Airport in Mombasa after a section of airport workers staged demonstrations inside the facility.
Passengers were forced to wait longer even as security officers intensified their efforts to restore normalcy at Kenya’s second-largest airport.
In a separate incident earlier this year, a wildfire broke out on a section of grassland at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi.
The blaze, which spread toward 75 Airport North Road, was quickly contained. The airport’s management confirmed the fire, clarifying that no critical airport infrastructure was affected.
It was later contained after emergency units intervened to prevent the fire from spreading further and threatening nearby facilities.
