Rising global fuel prices inflicted a ninth consecutive half-year loss on national carrier Kenya Airways (KQ), increasing its default risk and sinking it Sh15 billion deeper into a negative equity position.

KQ, which has been surviving on State bailouts since the Covid-19 pandemic, reported a Sh9.8 billion loss Wednesday -- a better performance than the Sh11.48 billion loss it recorded in the same period a year earlier.
