"The airport in Mombasa deserves a new passenger terminal and probably also an additional runway to be able to accommodate large international flights"

KTN asked for my views on the importance of transport, infrastructure and ease of access for the MICE industry during the Africa MICE Summit 2026 in Mombasa. I highlighted the need for a major upgrade of Mombasa’s airport to attract more airlines from around the world and make the city easier to reach for international conferences and events.
