Kenya awards China Road and Bridge $1.2-billion Nairobi airport expansionKenya's government has signed a 154.2-billion Kenyan shilling ($1.2-billion) agreement with China Road and Bridge Corporation to expand Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Transport Minister Davis Chirchir says. The project will nearly triple annual passenger capacity to 22-million from 7.5-million and includes a new terminal building, modernisation of existing infrastructure and improved airside and landside operations; the East African nation aims to maintain its role as a regional aviation hub as Ethiopia and Rwanda invest heavily in new airport construction.

The rise is driven by El Niño-related demand for air conditioning, a rebound in exports, and renewable energy output growth slowing because of weak wind generation and low solar utilisation in western provinces.
