The collapse of EAAC and the formation of the independent national airlines of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda was a chaotic period and resulted in various attempts to steal the remaining assets of the original airline to help the start-ups. The actions of one pilot rescued four aircraft of the fleet from Tanzania and enabled Kenya Airways to start operations.
