KIS Terminal
Kisumu International Airport is an airport in Kisumu, Kenya (IATA: KIS, ICAO: HKKI). It is the third busiest airport in Kenya[1] and the country's fourth international airport. The airport has a new terminal with the capacity to handle 700 passengers an hour which translates to 2 million passengers per year. In 2011 the length of the runway was extended from 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) to 3.3 kilometres (2.1 mi) giving the airport the capacity to handle large capacity passenger and cargo aircraft. The airport is set for a second phase of a 4.9 billion shilling expansion that will include the construction of a parallel taxiway, cargo apron and associated facilities.
