Aviation Data & Sources
Public-record data points are dated, sourced and separated from current operational claims.
Small dataset, high transparency
Only a limited amount of reliable public information has been identified for the company. The website therefore prefers a small number of well-explained data points to a large number of speculative statistics.
| Data point | Value shown | Source type | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company name in 2011 Gazette | Tamarind Air Ltd. | Official Kenya Gazette | Historical public record |
| Address in 2011 Gazette | P.O. Box 56688-00200, Nairobi | Official Kenya Gazette | Historical address matching the postal box supplied for this website |
| Service in 2011 decision | Non-scheduled all-cargo service into/out of Kenya to/from Africa using DC-9 aircraft based at JKIA | Official Kenya Gazette | Historical licence scope only |
| Licence term in 2011 decision | One year from 14 January 2011 | Official Kenya Gazette | Not presented as current authority |
| Historic fleet profile | Two McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30 aircraft listed historically; current matrix shows zero in service | Planespotters third-party database | Historical fleet context, not regulator evidence |
What these numbers do—and do not—show
The 2011 Gazette entry is strong evidence that the specific licence decision was published at that time. Because the decision states a one-year term, it cannot reasonably be used by itself to prove operating authority in 2026.
The Planespotters entry is useful for fleet history. It is not an official regulator database and should not be treated as proof of ownership, airworthiness, registration or current availability.
Current contact information on this website comes from the company information supplied for publication. Visitors who require formal verification should request official documents.

Primary and secondary sources
For this website, an official government publication is treated as a primary public source for the historical decision it records. Specialist aviation databases are treated as secondary sources and are described accordingly. User-supplied company contact details are clearly presented as current website contact information rather than independently verified registry data.
