In the past five years, the carrier’s stocks have dropped by 87%, and it recorded a net loss of KES26.2 billion shillings in the year ending in March.
 
"The historic losses are a testament to what we have been saying all along that Kenya Airways is in desperate need of new leadership and direction,” said Paul Gichinga, KAPLA Secretary General.
 

Since a turnaround strategy drawn up by McKinsey & Company in February, the carrier has let go of 500 members of staff, reduced its fleet and sold its landing slot at London Heathrow airport.
