The air transport industry has played an increasingly important role during the last quarter
of the 21st century as a facilitator of overall economic activity and a critical element in
certain economic sectors. Kenya has experienced a number of air accidents mostly with light
aircrafts and helicopters in the recent years, and preventing accidents has remained a major
challenge. Even though Kenya is experiencing challenges in terms of air accidents, the
growth of air transport in terms of increased number of passengers through the airports,
increase in number of operating aircrafts, increased license registrations, and air business
expansion is evident. This paper is based on conceptual literature review on the relationship
between monitoring of the implementation of aviation standards and performance of Air
Transport. From the literature reviewed it is evident that the operational performance of the
air transport industry in Kenya is closely dependent on monitoring of implementation of
aviation safety standards which include continuous aviation training programs, proper and
quality aviation personnel certification procedures, aviation infrastructure and proper data
management on aviation safety procedures and concerns. The monitoring of the
implementation of aviation safety standards is done by Civil Aviation Authority of Kenya.
