Planes registered in Kenya will now be inspected for airworthiness every two years, instead of annually, amid a biting shortage of inspectors as the number of locally registered aircraft grew rapidly.
The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) has spaced out mandatory aircraft inspections as a strategy to cope with the staff shortage, extended validity period of certificates of airworthiness issued to aircraft operators to two years from the current one year, lengthening the mandatory checks intervals.
