Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta does not have a dedicated Delivery frequency, as such all Delivery responsibilities are assumed by Nairobi Apron (HKJK_GND). Under no circumstances should a HKJK_DEL position ever be opened without prior approval from staff.

Initial Climbs

Initial Climbs at Nairobi aren't based off the SID themselves, but rather the direction and type of flight. See the table below for the criteria.
