Kenya Airways’ half-year loss widened to Sh16.1 billion in 2026 as fuel costs surged 66 per cent and aircraft remained grounded by global shortages of engines and spare parts.
The carrier’s losses in 2025 were primarily caused by a capacity shortage due to the prolonged grounding of at least two of its widebody aircraft and several others.
The loss increased from Sh12.2 billion recorded in the previous reporting period.
