Kenya Airways’ outgoing Chief Executive Officer Mbuvi Ngunze might see his stay at the airline extended as he lends a hand in restructuring of the airline’s balance sheet.

Mr Ngunze, who last year tendered his resignation from the airline and was expected to exit in the course of the first quarter of this year, will now stay on until KQ concludes a balance sheet restructuring process that began last year, KQ Board chairman Michael Joseph told The Sunday Standard. The chief executive is leaving after a five-year stint at the airline, two of which he served as Group MD and CEO.
