The upgrade is being implemented in three key phases. Phase One, spearheaded by the Ministry of Defence through the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), focused on securing the facility.

Phase Two, which is being implemented by the County Government of Garissa, is currently 85 per cent complete. It entails the construction of a new terminal building fitted with essential passenger and operational amenities. These include an arrival hall, Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) offices, a check-in waiting bay, a VIP lounge, prayer and wudhu areas, retail shops, a search room, and expanded parking facilities.

Phase Three will involve critical airside works, including a 1.5-kilometre runway extension, taxiway upgrades, and apron rehabilitation.

The works are expected to be completed by April next year, enabling the airstrip to accommodate larger aircraft and support daily flights to Nairobi.

Once completed, the upgraded airstrip is expected to significantly boost trade and investment in Garissa and the wider region. It will also enhance the provision of essential services such as medical evacuations and humanitarian relief operations, strengthening emergency response capacity.
