Kenya Airways to sell four aircraft to stem losses

.The loss has been attributed to poor management decisions and inefficient operations by analysts, although the airline blames Middle Eastern competition and travel advisories for a decline in the tourism industry, according to the Eastern African newspaper.
Kenyan tourism number have declined due to attacks by Somalia-based militants al-Shabab, but Kenya Airways has not responded to competition effectively, leading to loss of profits, reports said

Acting Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia announced to a House committee that the sale of the planes is part of a recovery plan upon meeting Transport, Public Works and Housing Committee of the National Assembly on Tuesday.
Evidence gathered by a Senate Select Committee suggest that the downfall of Kenya Airways was caused by the airline committing strategic errors.
