Nairobi:
Airport officials in Kenya say that two international flights have landed at Nairobi's main international airport following a devastating airport fire.
The Kenya Airports Authority, though, said in a statement Thursday that international flights haven't yet officially resumed. The airports body said it is working to ensure a return to normal service and that it would make more updates through the day.
A fire broke out at the arrivals hall of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Wednesday and tore through the building for the next five-plus hours. The fire turned into an inferno that engulfed the arrivals hall in part because of a slow and inadequate response from fire fighters.
Ali Ayoob, an airport engineer, called the damage "extensive" and said the airport's electrical and mechanical systems are down.
