Kenya Airways (KQ) is back in the loss-making territory on lower revenue generation after posting a net loss of Sh17.1 billion for the year ended December 2025, from Sh5.4 billion profit in 2024.
The airline said its operational loss dipped Sh5.6 billion compared to Sh16.6 billion in the previous period as revenue fell because of global supply chain challenges.
Sales declined by Sh27 billion to Sh161.4 billion, resulting in an operating loss of Sh5.6 billion as operating costs fell by a smaller margin of Sh4.79 billion to Sh167 billion.
“Overall performance and operations in the year 2025 were severely impacted primarily by the temporary grounding of three of the wide-body fleet, Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft. This was driven by the global supply chain constraints and limited engine availability,” KQ said.
