Kenya Airports Authority has invited interested bidders for a public auction of aircraft for prices ranging from as low as Sh94,300 to Sh100,000.
The authority, which is mandated to handle operations, safety and security at all Kenyan airports said that it seeks to auction all abandoned airplanes at Wilson airport.
In an advertisement, KAA noted that the aircraft will be auctioned on August 9 and interested bidders can view the planes starting from 24th July.
