The government has granted Kenya Airways (KQ) a 12-month break on servicing Sh41.27 billion worth of loans, offering a reprieve to the airline that had defaulted on payments.

The national carrier says in the latest annual report that it had accrued Sh1.8 billion in interest, prompting it to seek a waiver and deferral on unpaid interest and shareholder loans.
