Khalif Kairo Flaunts Slip After Passing His Aviation Exam Months After Failure: "Glory To God"

• Khalif Kairo was on the receiving end months ago after failing his private pilot certificate test thrice
• The entrepreneur insisted that he eventually passed the tests and was training to be a commercial pilot
• Kairo could not hide his joy after achieving his objective and shared the results online

Businessman Khalif Kairo has celebrated after passing his aviation test.

Did Khalif Kairo pass pilot test?

The Kai and Karo owner made headlines in July after his result slip leaked online showing that he had failed the test, attracting criticism from some netizens.

However, in response to the critics, Kairo said he passed after attempting the Private Pilot Certificate test thrice.

The leaked exam result showed that he scored lowly in Aircraft General Knowledge, Flight Performance Planning, Meteorology and Navigation.

However, Kairo insisted that he passed and was duly licensed to fly privately by the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA).

He said that he was doing tests to become a licensed commercial pilot.

On Tuesday, September 10, Kairo shared a result slip showing he had passed the commercial pilot exams.

Hs highest score was 82% in Navigation, while the lowest was 72% in Principles of Flight.

Kairo passed all the eight units.

However, the KCAA noted that the result slip was not a license, and that the results were only valid for 18 months.

"Glory to God," a grateful Kairo wrote.

Kenyans lauded him for achieving his goals, writing:

@Dr_AustinOmondi:

"Congratulations. Keep on keeping on."

@Gathumbi_Jnr:

"Can one refuse to fly with a certain pilot?"

@bedannke:

“I'm thrilled to hear that you passed your exams. You inspire many by having such ambitious dreams, then putting in the hard work to achieve them."

@the_muraya:

“I hope they amplify this one like they did when you failed some units. Congrats.”

How did Khalif Kairo make money?

Kairo previously shut down claims he was engaged in 'wash wash'.

This is after one of his followers questioned his business acumen, claiming he was laundering money.

In a fiery rejoinder, Kairo said he has been in business for 10 years and that his journey is publicly documented for all to see. He urged Kenyans to trust the process.
