National carrier Kenya Airways added 430 staff last year despite reduced operations, largely resulting from the grounding of aircraft during the period.

The airline’s workforce reached 5,672 from 5,242 staff at the end of 2024, after it added 67 permanent employees and 363 contracted workers, according to disclosures in its latest 2025 annual report.
