The Kenya Airports Authority is an autonomous body established in 1991 through an act of parliament and is charged with an umbrella responsibility of providing and managing a coordinated system of airports in the country.
Prior to its formation, the former erstwhile Aerodromes Department under the Ministry of Transport and Communication handled this responsibility.
In its brief period of existence, the Authority has undergone tremendous structural changes intended to make the organization a result-driven and customer focused establishment.
The Authority’s mission is to develop and run internationally renowned airport facilities in Kenya, intent on offering our customers safe, secure and efficient airport services and a consistently comfortable airport experience.
This will be achieved primarily through our human resources, who will be highly motivated, effective, and offered the best careers in airport operations and management in the region. The organization seeks to offer class-leading returns on capital invested to its shareholders.
Our vision is to be the unchallenged airport system hub for the region, with an effectively integrated chain of key airports. We aspire to generate robust and consistent profitability through our activities, and to be an exemplar of good management practice and efficiency in Kenya
