Two Kenya Airways planes collided
Saturday at the Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport, Nairobi.
The Embraer planes collided while
undergoing maintenance, Kenya Civil
Aviation Authority Director-General
Gilbert Kibe said.
No injuries were reported.
Captain Kibe said airport safety officials
are investigating the incident.
“We will find out what went wrong and
we will mitigate to ensure it does not
happen again,†he said.
Airport officials have opened
investigation into the incident.
Mr Kibe added that a disruption of
services at JKIA would be inevitable.
“Some flights will likely be cancelled.
Every aeroplane has something that it’s
doing every day. If two are not
available, that will really mess up the
schedule,†he said.
“We hope that the flights will come
back to normal as soon as possible,â€
added Captain Kibe.
The troubled airline has been battling
to win back the confidence of
passengers after a tumultuous couple
of years that involved a long-standing
feud with pilots’ union, the Kenya
Airline Pilots Association, and a shift in
top management.
