NAIROBI, KENYA: Aviation industry regulator Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) will have to pay an airline operator more than Sh1.4 billion for cancelling its operations certificate back in 2003.
This is after the High Court dismissed the argument by KCAA that the monies demanded by African Commuter Services Ltd would cripple its day-to-day operations being a State owned entity. In a ruling delivered by High Court Judge Alfred Mabeya, the authority will have to pay Sh1,421,671,718 being an award for damages and loss of business.
