Pilots fly KQ into a raging storm with 48hr strike notice

National carrier Kenya Airways yesterday flew deeper into a storm after its pilots made public a litany of bad management decisions they believe pulled the airline to its current loss-making position.

Speaking through the Kenya Airline Pilots Association (Kalpa), the more than 400 pilots said gross mismanagement and fraud have cost the company billions of shilling in the recent past, insisting that any recovery effort led by chief executive officer Mbuvi Ngunze was bound to fail as the same management is responsible for its failure.
