The government issues a 30-day ultimatum, as Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) threatens to auction 92 planes.
Kenya’s government has threatened to put 92 aircraft up for public auction.
The government, acting through the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA), gave the owners of the 92 aircraft a 30-day ultimatum in a notice that was published in the Kenya Gazette on Friday, January 19.
The owners were instructed by KCAA to assert ownership or face losing them at the scheduled auction.
The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) justified the decision to dispose of the planes stating that they had been abandoned at various airports across the nation, such as Wilson Airport, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), and other airports in Malindi.
Moreover, KCAA pointed out that the aircraft had taken up space that could have been utilized by other aircraft making landings at the specified airports.
The aviation authorities bemoaned that their persistent use of various airports has violated international norms, putting the nation at risk of being reported by foreign oversight agencies.
