Kenya Airways (KQ) has sunk deeper into losses for the first half of this year, battered by a four-month hiatus on passenger travel and reduced volumes of cargo handled.

The national carrier reported a net loss of Sh14.4 billion in the six months to June, a 67 per cent decline from a loss of Sh8.5 billion recorded in a similar period last year.
