The Area Control Centre was also located in Nairobi while Aerodrome Division was directly manned by individual East African States.
Meanwhile the first East African Citizen to ascent to the chairmanship of the East African Airlines Corporation was a Tanzanian called Chief Abdullah Fundikira at the end of 1964.
