The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) has lifted the provisional suspension of Silverstone Airline's Dash 8 series aircraft, effective November 19, 2019.
According to a statement released by KCAA Director General Gilbert Kibe on Tuesday, the airline had provided satisfactory corrective measures following comprehensive compliance audits on its operations between October 25 and November 15, 2019.
As a result, KCAA will continue to undertake its continuous surveillance on the operator as they resume normal operations for the Dash 8 series aircraft.
It's worth noting that all other aircraft in the fleet of Silverstone Air Services remain operational.
The suspension was imposed on November 12, 2019, after a series of air incidents involving Silverstone Air planes, including an accident and an emergency landing at Eldoret International Airport.
Another incident occurred when one of its aircrafts hit and damaged another plane at the Wilson Airport in Nairobi, and a plane was forced to make an emergency landing after a tyre fell off during take-off.
