Kenya Airways has posted a pretax loss in the first half of the year, reversing the profit it recorded in the same period in 2024, as revenues and passenger numbers fell due to aircraft maintenance disruptions.

The national carrier reported a pretax loss of Sh12.17 billion for the six months to June, compared with a profit of Sh513 million last year.
