Kenya scraps plans for new Nairobi terminal
Kenya has scrapped plans for a new terminal building at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta airport due to financial pressures and excess capacity caused by recent upgrades to existing facilities. President Uhuru Kenyatta launched the US$650m terminal project for the airport in Dec 2013. China's Anhui Construction and China National Aero-Technology had been selected to build the terminal, which was expected to handle 20m passengers a year. "The decision to terminate the project by the Authority has been occasioned by the prevailing operational, economic and financial dynamics which have been on a downward trend over the last 3 years," the Kenya Airports Authority said. The first phase of the new terminal had originally been due to be completed this year, although construction has not yet started. <br/>
