KQ halves losses as its stock closes at a year high at the NSE

Kenya Airways posted a Sh4.7 billion loss in half year results ended September 30, 2016 down from Sh11.9billion posted in the same period last year.

 

The airline also recorded a Sh0.9 billion operating profit for the first six months ended September 30, compared to an operating loss of Sh2.2 billion in the previous period.

"Operation Pride"

According to the airline, the improvement of its operating performance was as a result of growth in cabin factor by 3.3 per cent during the period, with an increase in passenger numbers from 89,000 to 2.2 million and lower operating costs made by fleet rationalisation in line with the recovery strategy ‘Operation Pride’.

The strategy focuses on closing the profitability gap, refocusing the business model as well as optimising the capital of the company.
