un confirmed report says that the Wilson Aiport might have an airstrip along eastern by-pass instead of Kangundo rd near KBC.....
Anybody with info?

@GG..the fellow meant the planned NEW Wilson airport. Been rumours for along time that it was to be built of kangundo road.

@Maina20...have also heard rumours of a change but no hard facts

Wilson Airport wont be going anywhere anytime soon.hiyo sahau.

Heathrow airport, the busiest in the world is located in the middle of a residential area (see google maps). Infact they wanted to demolish over 1000 residential houses so as to build a new runway. So location in a residential area isn't reason enough to move an airport.

institutions like kenya airways, private universities et al have bought large tracts of land in nearby towns for future expansion. land speculators are already taking positions. the rest of you guys will come when land is selling over 1M

@Maina20...I have also heard the same rumors but unconfirmed. Is it also next to the Juja plots sold by Mhasibu?
The move is apparently to facilitate trade in central and especially Meru for miraa exportation...

You dont just move an airport like Wilson overnight.there are numerous studies to be done.
1.airspace dimensions have to be studied and published and siting of runways.
2.visual aids have to be identified.
3.airspace conflicts have to be identified.we're talking JKIA,Eastliegh,restricted,prohibited and danger areas.
4.operators have to be consulted.you dont want another Eldoret airport flop.
5.to facilitate miraa trade,we have Isiolo airport which coincidentally also falls into the Manda bay port project.
6.the airspace in question falls under military control.
So far,none of these processes have commenced.they take years.
Am guessing someone wants to inflate land prices by peddling a lie.

Might be a rumour but remember, where there is smoke possibilities of a fire is high.....I hear the Kenyatta family has sold Govt a parcel of land on the eastern bybass which is 8km in length and extends from the a few km from the Ruai bypass(bridge) to a few km to the thika rd juction....The shamba is well fenced off...

some of the property i aquired in this area have appreciated by 40% to 100% witin the last 18 months.

for as many as of similar opinion.....and believe that tatu city will also have a bullish effect on property, and accessibility from both JKIA and Thika superhighway is by its own a driving factor on property prices especially on short term......and would like to sample investment opportunity ...10 units on offer...for more info....nafmuma@yahoo.com
