A Boeing 707 For $2,500? Kenya To Auction 73 Abandoned Planes

In just a few weeks, Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) will be auctioning off a long list of aircraft that have been abandoned at four of its airports. The list of aircraft types is long and diverse, ranging from the Ukrainian An-24 to the classic 737-200. There’s even a 707-300! All of these aircraft have some seriously, seriously, low starting bid prices. Let’s see what you could get for less than the price of a beat-up used car.

Over 70 aircraft to be auctioned off

According to ch-aviation, the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) is hoping to sell some 73 derelict aircraft that have been abandoned at various Kenyan airports. Aircraft can be viewed in advance of the auction dates, between now and November 16th, with auction dates and times (all local) as follows:

Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta: 10:00 on November 17th
Nairobi Wilson: 14:30 on November 17th
Mombasa: 10:00 on November 19th
Lokichoggio: 10:00 on November 22nd.

In August 2020, KAA had contacted the owners of the abandoned aircraft to settle accounts and request the removal of their plane. Along with this came the warning that their assets could be auctioned off.
