KQ diverted the flights from Nairobi based Jomo Kenyatta International Airport due to poor visibility resulted by a thick white blanket of fog covering wide areas of Embakasi that also affected normal traffic along Outering Road, Jogoo Road and Mombasa Road.

In an update, Kenya Airways said several flights were being diverted to alternative airports as they monitor the situation.

"Good morning, we are experiencing flight disruptions at JKIA due to poor visibility caused by fog. Several flights are being diverted to alternative airports as we monitor the situation," KQ said on Twitter.

Affected flights included; KQ311 DXB-NBO revised ETA 0930h; KQ117 AMS-NBO revised ETA 0940h; KQ260 TNR-NBO revised ETA 1055h; KQ275 MRU-NBO revised ETA 1100h; and KQ503 ACC-NBO revised ETA 1040h.
