The ratio of workforce engaged under permanent terms by national carrier Kenya Airways rose to 82.9 percent during the year ended last December, from 72.3 percent in 2023, in a period the airline bounced back into profitability after more than a decade of losses.

KQ, as the carrier is known by its international code, also reported in its latest sustainability report that it recorded an eight percent jump in its headcount, bringing the total staff size to 4,705 people by the end of last December.
