KQ half-year loss widens to Sh16bn as costs spiralKenya Airways (KQ) has reported a significant net loss of approximately KSh 16 billion for the first half of 2025/2026, with Business Daily attributing this primarily to a capacity shortage caused by grounded aircraft. Government-aligned KBC Digital and Tuko note that despite the loss, KQ's revenue increased to KSh 81.2 billion, driven by strong passenger demand and improved aircraft utilization, with Tuko specifically mentioning an 18% rise in cargo revenue. The Star and Reuters highlight that high fuel and overall operating costs contributed substantially to the widened loss. The specific breakdown of what "several other" aircraft refers to beyond the two widebody planes is not explicitly detailed, leaving some ambiguity about the full scope of the capacity issue.BusinessKenyaLanguage gap5 sources · mostly neutralGeneral News0Share
