Silverstone Air has temporarily suspended operations aboard its 14 aircraft to pave way for investigations by the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority. We have confidence that we will resume normal operations very soon,” Silverstone management told the Star. Members of Parliament had initially summoned Silverstone Air managers and state agencies concerned with aviation including Transport ministry leaders, Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) and Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) to a meeting on Friday. Prior to investigations, Silverstone had already suspended operations on three of its routes including Homa Bay, launched just two months ago, halting the firm’s aggressive expansion plan. The airline started plying the Wajir route in June and Homa Bay in September targeting traders and tourists.
