Kenya Airways Ground Handling Services
ISAGO-certified ground handler with stations at both JKIA (Nairobi) and Moi International (Mombasa), per independent industry reporting (nomadafricamag.com); provides passenger and ramp handling for KQ and third-party carriers. Note: the specific "initial certification 2009, recertified 2011/2013" history in the prior draft is unconfirmed by any source found, and Kenya Airways' well-documented Nov 2023 ISAGO reaccreditation press release states the audit covered the JKIA/Nairobi hub specifically, not Mombasa — removed as an unverified station-specific claim.

Aircraft fuel
Available · 3 providers
Kenya Aerotech Ltd
FBO directories (FBO Finder, AC-U-KWIK) list "aircraft services and fuel" for Kenya Aerotech at MBA, but the company's own services page describes "liaising with 3rd party contracted services such as fuel suppliers" rather than direct into-plane fuelling — more likely a fuel-coordination/uplift-arrangement role than Kenya Aerotech itself supplying fuel. Not independently confirmed either way.

Cargo handling
On request
Swissport Kenya
Listed as part of Swissport Kenya's "Centralized Services" portfolio (Centralized Cargo Services) on its own MBA page, but trade-press coverage of the 2022 launch describes cargo/freighter handling at MBA as a "potential to expand" rather than an established operation. Downgraded from "available": no source confirms current customs-clearance or storage operations at MBA specifically.

Aviation security
Available
Kenya Airports Authority
Airport operator self-provides passenger, carry-on and hold-baggage security screening (X-ray, archway detectors) at its airports, confirmed on KAA's own "Security Control" page ("For security reasons, all hold baggage is screened...our airport security team on the ground"); this is a group-level KAA policy that genuinely applies to MBA since KAA is the direct operator of Moi International Airport (not a third-party claim transferred from elsewhere).
