The Jomo Kenyatta Airport has been opened for take off of small planes after it had been closed due to technical cargo errors.
The airport has granted small planes to be allowed to take off.
According to the report given by the Kenya Airways authorities, the reason as to why the JKIA runway had been partially closed today Monday morning is because the Singapore Airlines Cargo plane’s failed to take off, after its engine caught fire.
This then resulted to the aircraft’s tyres busting, leading to deflation. (thus the wheels had no pressure in them hence they couldn’t help the plane in running the runway) As a result, the plane wouldn’t be towed off the runway immediately, considering its size and it had heavy cargo in it so they opted to contact personnel at the airport who they went to borrow tyres from so that they may help in resolving the issue, something that made the runway be grounded and be out of bounce because the plane was still being worked on.
Kipchumba Murkomen assured the public that they are doing everything in their power to ensure that the plane has been taken off the runway.
It has been opened for takeoff of small planes as they are still trying to evaluate how to completely take the cargo plane off the runway.
Good news no one was harmed in the process as the plane has just cargo on board.
