Kenya Airways has returned to profitability, largely helped by the restructuring of its debt after the Treasury took over a Sh82.7 billion ($641.4 million) loan burden from the national carrier.

This reduced the company’s debt finance costs, enabling it to post a net profit of Sh513 million in the half year to June to end an 11-year loss-making streak.
