Kenya Airways (KQ) says it took a Sh1.3 billion financial hit from last November’s pilot strike that triggered the cancellation of scores of flights and left thousands of passengers stranded.

The airline gave the disclosure on Monday during the release of its financial performance for 2022, in which net loss more than doubled to a record Sh38.26 billion with a partly Sh23 billion rise in finance costs.
