PRIME Eyes on KCAA as Wilson Airport awaits full operations on revamped main runway

PRIME Eyes on KCAA as Wilson Airport awaits full operations on revamped main runway 18.08.2026

Over two weeks after the partial reopening of Wilson Airport's main runway, Runway 07, for daytime operations, night flights have yet to resume due to pending approvals from the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA). The runway was reopened on July 29, 2026, for flights between 6:30 am and 6:30 pm, ending a nearly six-month closure for rehabilitation. However, the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) stated that the contractor working on the runway interfered with the Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) system, which is essential for safe navigation during low-visibility and night conditions. While the AGL issue has been rectified, KCAA's approval is still required before night operations can resume.
