The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) has raised concern over the increased cases of aircraft accidents and said that they were looking into ways in which to reduce them.
In the last three weeks, a total of four aircraft accidents have occurred in the Kenyan airspace, killing one person.
Two of the aircraft, a Bell206 and Augusta A139, belonged to the police while the two other belonged to Ninety Nine Flying Club and a private civilian.
"The outcome of the accident investigations will greatly assist in mitigation measures that will be shared with all operators and flying crew," KCAA said.
KCAA said the accidents involving the two civil aircraft were being investigated by the Air Accident Investigation Department (AAID) of the Ministry of Transport.
However, the Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaiserry is to gazette the commission to investigate the police chopper crash.
