The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) is developing its own ride-hailing "Super App" for Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), aiming to regulate taxis and generate revenue.

• The app aims to create an airport ecosystem for booking rides, lounges, and duty-free shopping, potentially using geofencing to block competitors like Uber and Bolt.
• KAA seeks a tech partner for the project, which could impact the nearly 9 million passengers using JKIA annually.
• The initiative faces significant public skepticism due to concerns about inflated prices compared to existing apps and KAA's struggles with basic infrastructure and staff payments.
