Kenya Airways made a net loss of Sh17.1 billion in the year ended December 2025, reversing a net profit of Sh5.4 billion the year before as revenue plunged on the grounding of part of its aircraft fleet.

The national carrier’s sales declined by Sh27 billion to Sh161.4 billion, resulting in an operating loss of Sh5.6 billion as operating costs fell by a smaller margin of Sh4.79 billion to Sh167 billion.
