Kenya Airways (KQ) #ticker:KQ on Thursday stated it has a shortage of up to 106 pilots, arguing that an order blocking the airline from hiring pilots on contract basis risks further ceding passenger and cargo business to its rivals.

Arguing before Justice Onesmus Makau, the company through lawyer Peter Ondati said that barring the firm from taking on more pilots would lead to widening of losses.
