The newly upgraded Isiolo International Airport, the fifth largest airport in Kenya, is now ready for operations. The airport is located in Isiolo Town, a fast growing town in Kenya which serves as a gateway to regional trade with neighbouring Ethiopia and Southern Sudan.
The new international airport will be an important link to the new transport corridor, which the government is developing under the Lamu Port and Lamu-Southern Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (Lapsset) corridor project.
