For instance, the development of other infrastructure in and around airports including hospitals within three kilometres as stipulated by ICAO, hotels, and other modes of transport like road and rail networks would be key drivers in job creation.<\/p>\n<p>More heliports could also be established within the Nairobi to ease VIP travel as the case of Rio in Brazil, which recently benefitted from over 300 heliports across the city during the just concluded Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>This is despite the challenges facing the industry.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the growth in big populations within cities and around airports has led to the problem of solid waste management.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When a dumpsite is near an airport, it immediately creates a hazard to aircraft because of the birds that fly around there,&#8221; says KCAA Director General, Captain Gilbert Kibe.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kibe, this is because aircraft flying at high speed could collide with the birds and be sucked into the aircraft&#8217;s engine leading to loses in millions of shillings on repair of damaged engine parts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the worst scenario, the bird strike may lead to an air accident with possible loss of life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Caution was also drawn against investing millions of shillings in the unplanned development of aerotropolises without due regard to security issues.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p>According to ICAO Regional Aviation Security (Avsec) Chief Justus Nyunja, lack of proper planning could see these cities brought down by one incidence of insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>Other problems caused by the unplanned development of landside include the obstruction of flight path and the encroachment of land within the flight path funnel. Captain Kibe cited Wilson airport, which is five kilometres from the Nairobi CBD but is severely affected by encroachment on unauthorized areas and unplanned residential development.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Noise control, especially in residential areas near airports, is important. Fortunately, modern aircraft are much quieter than the old aircraft of the past.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ICAO has mapped its current Strategic Objectives for global civil aviation against 13 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which comprise the 2030 Agenda. The total economic impact of aviation reaches some 3.5 percent of GDP or 2.4 trillion US dollars and the employment of 58.1 million people, because of its cross-cutting nature and multiple links to other economic sectors. This authenticates that aviation generates sustainable prosperity and transforms lives.<\/p>\n<p>Projection indicates that worldwide aircraft movement flight and passenger volumes are projected to double by 2030. Hence it is critical that States invest in infrastructure development to support the anticipated global growing demand for connectivity and mobility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 31 &#8211; Some 617,000 aviations jobs have been created in the country between 2015 and 2016, the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority has reported.
