Further, Kararuri promised to work with his competitors, saying he can borrow some of their ideas if they are meant to improve the lives of Kasarani residents.

Karauri's wife Ruth, a Captain, became an instant online sensation earlier this year after she skillfully landed a plane at London's Heathrow Airport on February 18.

In a previous interview with The Standard, she described the event as 'normal', never mind the praise she had received.

"As skillful as people said it looked, it was a normal landing to me. The technique I used is one I apply daily, but to varying degrees depending on the strength of the wind."

She added that her interest in flying dates way back and after clearing her 'O' levels, she got an offer to study Electrical Engineering at a local university but opted to apply for a training programme at Kenya Airways. The rest is history.
