Kenya Airways expects some disruptions to its flight schedule during this time and will endeavor it remains at minimum.  Some flights departing or arriving during the closure time have been re-scheduled as per the below chart.

It is also expected that there will be road closures around Nairobi and particularly Mombasa Road. This will affect those trying to reach JKIA for their flights. We request all guests on scheduled flights on the two days to plan their journeys to the airport well in advance and allow for additional travel time to JKIA.
