Kenya Airways achieves operating profit for first time in 7years

Kenya Airways, one of Africa’s largest airlines, has achieved an operating profit in 2023, marking a significant turnaround since 2017.

Chairman Michael Joseph hailed the $80 million excess as a notable achievement, emphasizing its importance in the airline’s journey.

The success was attributed to a notable increase in revenue, with passenger numbers experiencing a surge of over 50%.

Despite facing challenges in recent years, including substantial debts and the impact of the Covid pandemic, Kenya Airways has demonstrated resilience and progress.

Michael Joseph, in a statement reported by AFP, described the figures as a testament to the airline’s remarkable performance and a positive sign of ongoing recovery in the air transportation sector.
