Treasury takes 50.1pc control of KQ as workers scheme exits

The Treasury has now taken a controlling stake of 50.1 percent in Kenya Airways, strengthening its hand in directing the national carrier’s strategy, including negotiations with a new strategic investor.

Regulatory filings made in February 2026 show that the government’s stake in the national carrier had jumped to 50.1 percent from the previous 48.89 percent without buying additional shares.
