“Historically, the Government of Kenya has continued to support Kenya Airways in our long-standing role as Kenya’s national carrier,” the statement read.
Kenya Airways assured the public that the airline remains a viable business with a clear path to recovery, backed by ongoing operational and financial optimisation efforts.
