According to a statement signed by Acting Managing Director and CEO, Dr. Mohamud Gedi, the closure will take effect from 10:26 a.m. to 12:26 p.m.

“The safety and security of our passengers, staff, and all airport users is our highest priority, and this action is part of our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest security standards,” the statement said.
The Authority advised passengers with flights scheduled during the two-hour closure to contact their respective airlines for updates on flight statuses and possible changes to their travel itineraries.
KAA expressed regret for any inconvenience caused and thanked the public for their patience and cooperation during the temporary airspace closure.
