The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) posted a 41 percent profit dip to Sh3.8 billion in the financial year to June 2025, largely driven by a drop in revenues, surging costs and easing of foreign exchange gains.

Wilson handles several scheduled and charter flights, tourism, medical evacuation and flight training.

Last year, the carrier's losses were primarily caused by a capacity shortage due to the prolonged grounding of at least two of its widebody aircraft and several others.

The national carrier is counting on fresh capital, whether in kind or cash, to expand its fleet, restore its capacity, and grow its network in an effort to turn profitable.

After what seemed like a rebound in 2024, Kenya Airways sank deeper into the red last year, and even deeper this year, after posting a 31.9 percent growth in its half-year loss to Sh16 billion.

The report says hunger has increased across the continent even as agricultural production expanded, while Africa's food import bill has continued to rise.

Several airlines continued to face flight delays on Tuesday as they struggled to clear the backlog created by a two-day aviation workers' strike that brought operations at Kenya's major airports to a near standstill.

Aviation authority says JKIA is operating beyond its intended capacity and risks losing market share to new mega airports such as Ethiopia's Bishoftu Airport and Rwanda's Bugesera.

Conflicting interests have delayed Kenya Airways' turnaround plans even as the national carrier's acting CEO George Kamal exited abruptly after eight months on the job.
