KAA has officially transitioned into a public limited company, adopting the name Kenya Airports Authority PLC. The authority announced the change in a public notice issued on Thursday, August 27, saying it had been incorporated as a public limited company on June 3, 2026, under the Companies Act, 2015.
The transition follows the repeal of the Kenya Airports Authority Act, Cap. 395, on December 5, 2025, under the Government Owned Enterprises Act, 2025.
KAA said the new corporate structure is intended to strengthen governance, accountability, commercial sustainability and operational performance, while maintaining its existing mandate of providing safe, secure, efficient and sustainable airport operations in Kenya.
