LG Electronics Eastern Africa has donated 10 state of the art, 47-inch televisions to Kenya’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to be used as Flight Information Display Screens at the airport’s departure lounges.
This follows a fire earlier this month that ravaged East Africa’s largest airport, paralysing operations and leading to huge losses for airlines and the airports authority.
The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) tweeted earlier today:

Dominic Ngigi, KAA corporate affairs manager, received the TVs on behalf of the authority from LG’s marketing general manager, Moses Munjed Marji.

Investigations into the cause of the fire are ongoing, with detectives probing the cause of the fire blaming negligence by emergency response service providers. Initial investigations show the response to the fire was slow and disorganised, contrary to government claims.
KAA has announced operations at the regional hub are back to 100 per cent capacity, with works ongoing to ensure quality of services being offered at the airport and its existing facilities are improved.
