Kenyan’s Plane Stuck At The DRC Airport Faces Auction
Kenyans who have been awaiting collection of their aircraft at Ndjili Airport in Kinshasha, DR Congo, were given a 30-day deadline on Friday.
Otherwise, the auctioneer representing Air Kasai, based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, will sell the property at auction. The notice appeared in the Kenya Gazette on Friday.
According to the notice, the plane with the registration number 5Y-SKN, a Fokker type, had been repaired while on the airport grounds.
Before the plane is cleared to leave the premises, the owner must pay the storage charges and make the necessary repairs.
“Notice is given pursuant to section 5 of the Disposal of Uncollected Goods Act (Cap. 38) of the laws of Kenya, to the owner(s) of the undermentioned Aircraft/salvage: registration 5Y-SKN, serial No. 20110 Fokker 50 type, which is lying at the premises of Ndjili Airport, Kinshasha, DR Congo, to take delivery of the same within thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this notice upon payment of all outstanding storage and repair charges and any other incidental cost uncured thereto at the date delivery is taken,” read the notice in part.
