Adani Group has told a Kenyan court that its interest in redeveloping Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) was sparked by media reports highlighting the facility’s deteriorating condition. The court had suspended the group’s plan with the Kenyan government that would see it develop the airport in return for a 30-year lease. The $1.85 billion expansion plan, which includes building a new terminal and taxiways, has faced significant opposition from local groups, including the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC), which filed the case. They argue that the project is unnecessary, does not follow Kenyan laws, and poses a fiscal risk. Despite the opposition, the Adani Group maintains that the project will benefit Kenya and has adhered to regulations.
