In a world consumed by profits as a metric of any success, progress is measured by the growth of the bottom line. Embedded deep in the psyche is the idea that success can only be evident where there is a healthy balance sheet. But is it?
In aviation, progress is not only about profitability. It is the sum total of several moving parts which contribute to the whole. Kenya Airways is an example. The recent results announcing an operating profit for the first time in six years are a result of the multiple levers that we are pulling. That our concerted efforts are now coming to fruition, evinced by this progress, makes us all very excited.
