It isn't the first time & definitely won't be the last time it happens. In the past it has usually happened during thunderstorms which makes it even more stressful.
I agree, it is a scandal that this can happen at any commercial airport, especially a relatively busy international one and a busy hub for KQ.
JKIA is a joke and the Government should get a grip on the problem. As an airport, even by (sorry to have to say it) African standards, it is a ragged, old embarrassment of a building - not the nice welcome to the country for it's thousands of tourists. Now add to this the unsafe airspace with unreliable navaids in a mountainous area.....I hate to tempt fate, but this is something waiting to happen!
This is not the way to get the full FAA Cat 1 certification that the Authorities are expecting to get.
Until the politicians stop playing petty party politics (that's difficult to say!) and start running Kenya like the successful Country it should be and not a tribal toy, nothing will change!
Sad to say.
