"Opening soon at JKIA! Plaza Premium Lounge Nairobi! With 366 sqm of modern and sophisticated design, the new lounge will accommodate 150 guests. Enjoy plush seating, high-speed Wi-Fi, and dedicated workspaces, catering to both business and leisure travellers," KAA announced.

The gates of the new facility will be opened on February 2, 2024. Its grand opening is expected to elevate JKIA to international standards.

Plaza Premium Lounge Nairobi's opening will coincide with the official commissioning of the new generators at JKIA. KAA had announced that the new generators will be commissioned this week after testing.

"The committee inspected ongoing works of the facility's rooftop; They also inspected the airport's new generators undergoing testing before their commissioning next week," KAA announced.

Besides, other rehabilitation works are in the pipeline to change the face of JKIA which has been under scrutiny for a while especially after the expose on leaking roofs.
