On October 28, a Silverstone Air flight from Lodwar lost its rear wheel after takeoff, forcing an emergency landing at Eldoret's Moi International Airport.
The incident raised concerns about the safety of the low-cost domestic carrier, which has also been linked to another incident involving a plane crash outside Nairobi's Wilson Airport shortly after takeoff.
According to KCAA Director General Gilbert Kibe, the agency is keen to establish the circumstances surrounding the October 28 incident.
As a result, the KCAA has ordered the provisional grounding of Silverstone Air's Dash 8 fleet pending a probe into the incidents.
