Last week, Kenya Airways reported a Sh10.5 billion loss for the six months ending September; the biggest loss in Kenya's corporate history.
In the current airline market realities and despite the best of intentions and the progress it has registered to date, there is no doubt that the national carrier is facing enormous challenges. Whereas the current losses were mainly attributed to domestic insecurity and the outbreak of Ebola in one of the airline's key markets, running a successful airline is nevertheless becoming a very difficult job these days.
