The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) has officially denied claims that an Indian conglomerate, Adani Group, is attempting to re-enter the expansion project of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) through indirect means.

• The KAA stated that a prior privately initiated proposal with Adani Group was formally cancelled and no current discussions are ongoing.
• The denial follows media reports alleging that individuals identified as Nassir Ali Shaban Ahli and Chang Chung-Ling were acting as proxies for Adani.
• The JKIA modernization and expansion program will proceed as a government-funded initiative under state oversight, with plans to increase passenger handling capacity from 7.5 million to 12 million in the initial phase as part of the 2025-2045 masterplan.
