The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) has been recognized as the African Cargo Airport of the year at STAT Trade Times International Awards for Excellence in Air Cargo.
The award ceremony was held on Thursday in Johannesburg South Africa.
The award recognizes JKIA’s exceptional performance in cargo infrastructure, systems, and services and its commitment to excellence in air transport services.
The African Cargo Airport of the Year award gives JKIA the impetus to compete against some of the most established and busiest cargo airports on the continent.
The win enhances its reputation in cargo handling and air transport services.
“We are extremely proud to receive this prestigious award, which is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team at JKIA,” Kenya Airports Authority managing director Alex Gitari said.
