The airline was owned by the Government of Kenya until April 1995 (1995-04), and it was privatised in 1996, becoming the first African flag carrier to successfully do so.[6] Kenya Airways is currently a public-private partnership. The largest shareholder is the Government of Kenya (48.9%), with 38.1% being owned by KQ Lenders Company 2017 Ltd (in turn owned by a consortium of banks), followed by KLM, which has a 7.8% stake in the company. The rest of the shares are held by private owners; shares are traded on the Nairobi Stock Exchange, the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange, and the Uganda Securities Exchange.[6][7][8]

The airline became a member of SkyTeam in June 2010 (2010-06), and is also a member of the African Airlines Association since 1977.[9][10]

History

Early years

Kenya Airways was established by the Kenyan government on 22 January 1977 (1977-01-22), following the break-up of the East African Community and the consequent demise of East African Airways (EAA).[9][11][12] On 4 February 1977 (1977-02-04),[13]: 90  two Boeing 707-321s leased from British Midland Airways inaugurated operations,[14] serving the Nairobi–Frankfurt–London route.[15] On internal and regional flights, the carrier deployed aircraft formerly operated by the EAA consortium, such as one Douglas DC-9-52 and three Fokker F-27-200s.[15][nb 1] In late 1977, three Boeing 707s were acquired from Northwest Orient.[17] The following year, the company formed a charter subsidiary named Kenya Flamingo Airlines, which leased aircraft from the parent airline in order to operate international passenger and cargo services.[18] Aer Lingus provided the company with technical and management support in the early years.[19]

1980s–1990s: Expansion and privatisation

In July 1980 (1980-07), the airline had 2 100 employees and a fleet of three Boeing 707-320Bs, one Boeing 720B, one DC-9-30 and three Fokker F-27-200s. At this time, Addis Ababa, Athens, Bombay, Cairo, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Jeddah, Kampala, Karachi, Khartoum, London, Lusaka, Mauritius, Mogadishu, Rome, Salisbury, Seychelles and Zurich were among the airline's international destinations, whereas domestic routes radiated from Nairobi to Kisumu, Malindi, Mombasa and Mumias.[12] A Nairobi–Bombay nonstop route was launched in 1982 using Boeing 707-320Bs.[20] A year later, the company commenced serving Tanzania. Flights to Burundi, Malawi and Rwanda were launched in 1984. Capacity on the European routes was boosted in November 1985 (1985-11) with the incorporation of an Airbus A310-200 leased from Condor. Kilimanjaro was first served in March 1986 (1986-03).[21] That year, the airline ordered two Airbus A310-300s. Kenya Airways was the first African carrier to acquire the type, and they were the first wide-bodies ordered by the company.[22] Funded with a US$20,000,000 (equivalent to $49,441,409 in 2021) loan,[23] the delivery of these two aircraft took place in May and September 1986 (1986-09).[21][24] They flew on the Kenya–Europe corridor, and permitted Kenya Airways to return the A310-200 to the lessor.[21] In early 1988, the carrier ordered two Fokker 50s;[25] for domestic routes, the airline received the first of these aircraft at the end of the year.[26] Also in 1988, the lease of a third A310-300 was arranged with the International Lease Finance for a ten-year period;[27] the aircraft joined the fleet in November 1989 (1989-11).[28] Leased from Ansett Worldwide, the first Boeing 757-200 was received in January 1990 (1990-01), whereas a third Fokker 50 was acquired in October the same year. By late 1991, two Boeing 737-200s had been leased from Guinness Peat Aviation.[28]

In 1986, Sessional Paper Number 1 was published by the Government of Kenya, outlining the country's need for economic development and growth. The document stressed the government opinion that the airline would be better off privately owned, thus resulting in the first privatisation attempt. The government named Philip Ndegwa as chairman of the board in 1991, with specific orders to make the airline a privately owned company. In 1992, the Public Enterprise Reform paper was published, giving Kenya Airways priority among national companies in Kenya to be privatised.[9] Ndegwa was succeeded by Isaac Omolo Okero. In September 1992 (1992-09), Brian Davies, was appointed as the new managing director of the company.[28] Davies had been previously hired to carry out a study of viability on privatisation,[28] working for British Airways' Speedwing consulting arm.[29] Swissair was the first company to provide Kenya Airways with privatisation advice.[28] In the fiscal year 1993 to 1994, the airline produced its first profit since the start of commercialisation.[30] In 1994, the International Finance Corporation was appointed to provide assistance in the privatisation process, which effectively began in 1995.[31] A large aviation industry partner was sought to acquire 40% of the shares, with another 40% reserved for private investors and the government keeping the remaining stake. The government would absorb almost US$90 million in debts and would convert another US$31 million it provided in loans into equity; after reorganisation, the company would have a debt of approximately US$78 million.[28] British Airways, KLM, Lufthansa and South African Airways were among the airlines expressing interest in taking a stake in Kenya Airways.[30][31][32]

KLM was awarded the privatisation of the company, which restructured its debts and made a master corporation agreement with KLM, which bought 26% of the shares, becoming the largest single shareholder since then.[31][33][34] Shares were floated to the public in March 1996 (1996-03), and the airline started trading on the Nairobi Stock Exchange.[35] The Government of Kenya kept a 23% stake in the company, and offered the remaining 51% to the public; however, non-Kenyan shareholders could hold a maximum 49% share of the airline.[31][33][34] Despite 40% of the shares being kept by foreign investors following privatisation (including KLM's 26% stake), top management positions were held by Kenyans.[29] Following the takeover, the government of Kenya capitalised US$70 million, while the airline was awarded a US$15 million loan from the International Finance Corporation to modernise its fleet.[31] In a deal worth US$82 million, two Boeing 737-300s were ordered in July 1996 (1996-07).[36]

2000s–2010s

In January 2000 (2000-01), the airline experienced its first fatal accident when an Airbus A310 that had been bought new in 1986 crashed off Ivory Coast, shortly after taking off from Abidjan.[37][38] By April the same year, the fleet consisted of four Airbus A310-300s,[nb 2] two Boeing 737-200 Advanced and four Boeing 737-300s. At this time the company had a staff of 2,780, including 400 engineers, 146 flight crew and 365 cabin crew. From its main hub at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, scheduled services were operated to Abidjan, Addis Ababa, Amsterdam, Bujumbura, Cairo, Copenhagen, Dar es Salaam, Douala, Dubai, Eldoret, Entebbe/Kampala, Harare, Johannesburg, Karachi, Khartoum, Kigali, Kinshasa, Lagos, Lilongwe, Lokichoggio, London, Lusaka, Mahe Island, Malindi, Mombasa, Mumbai, and Zanzibar.[13]: 90  In 2002, an order for three Boeing 777-200ERs was placed with Boeing; an additional aircraft of the type was acquired in November 2005 (2005-11).[39] In March 2006 (2006-03), six Boeing 787-8s were ordered; the first two examples would be delivered in 2010 and the rest in 2011.[40] The original Boeing 787 order was amended nine months later to include three more aircraft of the type.[41] The first Embraer 190 joined the fleet in December 2010.[42]

In June 2012 (2012-06) the company announced the issuance of rights worth KSh.20 billion/=, aimed at increasing capital to support expansion plans.[43][44][45] Following the allocation of shares, KLM increased their stake in the company from 26% to 26.73%, while the Kenyan government boosted their participation into the company from 23% to 29.8%, becoming the largest shareholder.[46][47] In April 2012 (2012-04), the airline launched a plan named Project Mawingu (the Swahili word meaning Clouds) to add 24 destinations by 2021, including the start of services to Australia and North and South America, and expanding its presence in Asia as well.[48] In October 2013 (2013-10), the airline stated that it will add six new destinations every year, following the delivery of Boeing 777s and 787s the carrier has on order.[49]

Operational results for fiscal years 2015 and 2016 showed substantial losses.[50] The rapid expansion of the fleet and routes (dubbed "Project Mawingu") was cited as the primary cause of the downturn. Fuel-price hedging and the 1996 agreement with KLM, considered intrusive in the running of the flag carrier, took secondary blame.[51] Corrective measures were taken to improve the financial and operational position of the airline and avert insolvency. The route partnership with KLM was deemed profitable thus, kept. However, the parties agreed to amend some features of the deal that had a negative effect on KQ -IATA code for Kenya Airways. Two Boeing B737-700 were sold and five newer, leased airliners were sub-leased to improve cash flow.[52] Efforts to financially re-position the carrier were successful at the end of 2017. In a complex deal, stakeholders agreed to convert close to half a billion US dollars in loans to equity, changing the ownership structure. The government of Kenya, the biggest lender, saw its holdings rise from 29.8% to 48.9% while that of KLM was diluted from 26.7% down to 7.8%. A consortium of local banks, through a special-purpose vehicle called: "KQ Lenders Company 2017 Ltd.", ended up with 38.1%. The latter entity is obligated with a loan from the above local banks in the amount of US$225 million; this amount, in turn, is guaranteed by the government. The airline's employees, through a shareholding scheme, and others own the remaining 5.2%.[53] The Government of Kenya issued a guarantee for a further US$525 million debt owed to Import-Export Bank of the United States, financier of the newer Boeing planes of its fleet. In a bid to recover their exposure, syndicated leaseholders and banks unsuccessfully fought these measures to restructure the carrier's ownership.[54]

An outline of a plan to restore profitability was disclosed in a March 2018 interview given by the CEO and the chairman of the company. The turnaround operation will include route expansion, pursuing the high-end segment of the market and, on partnerships and joint ventures with other airlines.[55] The carrier plans to add up to twenty new destinations in Africa, Europe and Asia in the next five years. Five sub-leased aircraft are to re-join the fleet by the end of 2019 to facilitate this move.[56][55] Preparations are underway to roll out an economy-plus class to target the business and high-end leisure travelers. Direct flights to luxury-tourism destinations in the Indian Ocean are also planned.[57] Talks are underway with South African Airways regarding route-sharing and aircraft-maintenance collaboration; this is the other focus of the turnaround scheme.[56] In December 2018 Kenya Airways revealed plans to start flights between Nairobi and Windhoek, Namibia.[58]

The first of four converted Boeing 737-300s was delivered to the company in April 2013 (2013-04); Kenya Airways planned to fly this aircraft on African routes served by the Embraer 190s, in order to boost cargo capacity.[103] The company took delivery of its first Boeing 777-300ER in October 2013.[104][105]

Kenya Airways had nine Boeing 787 Dreamliners on order as of April 2011, although the company considered cancelling the order after systematic delays with the delivery dates.[41][106] The handover of the first Boeing 787 took place on 4 April 2014.[107][108] Two days later, Nairobi–Paris became the first route to be served by the Boeing 787.[109]

Kenya Airways phased out its Boeing 777s in May 2015 after the airline made losses and incurred debts in the previous financial year.[110][111] The Boeing 777-300ER fleet was leased to Turkish Airlines in May 2016.[112]

internal and regional flights the carrier deployed aircraft formerly operated by the EAA consortium such as one Douglas DC 9 52 and three Fokker F 27 200s 15 nb 1 In late 1977 three Boeing 707s were acquired from Northwest Orient 17 The following year the company formed a charter subsidiary named Kenya Flamingo Airlines which leased aircraft from the parent airline in order to operate international passenger and cargo services 18 Aer Lingus provided the company with technical and management support in the early years 19 1980s 1990s Expansion and privatisation Edit A Kenya Airways Fokker F27 200 at Moi International Airport in 1982 In July 1980 1980 07 the airline had 2 100 employees and a fleet of three Boeing 707 320Bs one Boeing 720B one DC 9 30 and three Fokker F 27 200s At this time Addis Ababa Athens Bombay Cairo Copenhagen Frankfurt Jeddah Kampala Karachi Khartoum London Lusaka Mauritius Mogadishu Rome Salisbury Seychelles and Zurich were among the airline s international destinations whereas domestic routes radiated from Nairobi to Kisumu Malindi Mombasa and Mumias 12 A Nairobi Bombay nonstop route was launched in 1982 using Boeing 707 320Bs 20 A year

September 1986 1986 09 21 24 They flew on the Kenya Europe corridor and permitted Kenya Airways to return the A310 200 to the lessor 21 In early 1988 the carrier ordered two Fokker 50s 25 for domestic routes the airline received the first of these aircraft at the end of the year 26 Also in 1988 the lease of a third A310 300 was arranged with the International Lease Finance for a ten year period 27

aircraft entered the fleet in November 1989 1989 11 28 In 1986 Sessional Paper Number 1 was published by the Government of Kenya outlining the country s need for economic development and growth The document stressed the government opinion that the airline would be better off privately owned thus resulting in the first privatisation attempt The government named Philip Ndegwa as chairman of the board in 1991 with specific orders to make the airline a privately owned company In 1992 the Public Enterprise Reform paper was published giving Kenya Airways priority among national companies in Kenya to be privatised 9 Ndegwa was succeeded by Isaac Omolo Okero In September 1992 1992 09 Brian Davies was appointed as the new managing director of the company 28 Davies had been previously hired to carry out a study of viability on privatisation 28 working for British Airways Speedwing consulting arm 29 Swissair was the first company to provide Kenya Airways with privatisation advice 28 In the fiscal year 1993 to 1994 the airline produced its first profit since the start of commercialisation 30 In 1994 the International Finance Corporation was appointed to provide assistance in the privatisation process which effectively began in 1995 31 A large aviation industry partner was sought to acquire 40 of the shares with another 40 reserved for private investors and the government keeping the remaining stake The government would absorb almost US 90 million in debts and would convert another US 31 million it provided in loans into equity after reorganisation the company would have a debt of approximately US 78 million 28 British Airways KLM Lufthansa and South African Airways were among the airlines expressing interest in taking a stake in Kenya Airways 30 31 32 KLM was awarded the privatisation of the company which restructured its debts and made a master corporation agreement with KLM which bought 26 of the shares becoming the largest single shareholder since then 31 33 34 Shares were floated to the public in March 1996 1996 03 and the airline started trading on the Nairobi Stock Exchange 35 The Government of Kenya kept a 23 stake in the company and offered the remaining 51 to the public however non Kenyan shareholders could hold a maximum 49 share of the airline 31 33 34 Despite 40 of the shares being kept by foreign investors following privatisation including KLM s 26 stake top management positions were held by Kenyans 29 Following the takeover the government of Kenya capitalised US 70 million while the airline was awarded a US 15 million loan from the International Finance Corporation to modernise its fleet 31 In a deal worth US 82 million two Boeing 737 300s were ordered in July 1996 1996 07 36 2000s 2010s Edit In January 2000 2000 01 the airline experienced its first fatal accident when an Airbus A310 that had been bought new in 1986 crashed off Ivory Coast shortly after taking off from Abidjan 37 38 By April the same year the fleet consisted of four Airbus A310 300s nb 2 two Boeing 737 200 Advanced and four Boeing 737 300s At this time the company had a staff of 2 780 including 400 engineers 146 flight crew and 365 cabin crew

Harare Johannesburg Karachi Khartoum Kigali Kinshasa Lagos Lilongwe Lokichoggio London Lusaka Mahe Island Malindi Mombasa Mumbai and Zanzibar 13 90 In 2002 an order for three Boeing 777 200ERs was placed with Boeing an additional aircraft of the type was acquired in November 2005 2005 11 39 In March 2006 2006 03 six Boeing 787 8s were ordered the first two examples would be delivered in 2010 and the rest in 2011 40 The original Boeing 787 order was amended nine months later to include three more aircraft of the type 41 The first Embraer 190 joined the fleet in December 2010 42 A Kenya Airways Boeing 767 in 2011 In June 2012 2012 06 the company announced the issuance of rights worth KSh 20 billion aimed at increasing capital to support expansion plans 43 44 45 Following the allocation of shares KLM increased their stake in the company from 26 to 26 73 while the Kenyan government boosted their participation into the company from 23 to 29 8 becoming the largest shareholder 46 47 In April 2012 2012 04 the airline launched a plan named Project Mawingu the Swahili word meaning Clouds to add 24 destinations by 2021 including the start of services to Australia and North and South America and expanding its presence in Asia as well 48 In October 2013 2013 10 the airline stated that it will add six new destinations every year following the delivery of Boeing 777s and 787s the carrier has on order 49 Operational results for fiscal years 2015 and 2016 showed substantial losses 50 The rapid expansion of the fleet and routes dubbed Project Mawingu was cited as the primary cause of the downturn Fuel price hedging and the 1996 agreement with KLM considered intrusive in the running of the flag carrier took secondary blame 51 Corrective measures were taken to improve the financial and operational position of the airline and avert insolvency The route partnership with KLM was deemed profitable thus kept However the parties agreed to amend some features of the deal that had a negative effect on KQ IATA code for Kenya Airways Two Boeing B737 700 were sold and five newer leased airliners were sub leased to improve cash flow 52 Efforts to financially re position the carrier were successful at the end of 2017 In a complex deal stakeholders agreed to convert close to half a billion US dollars in loans to equity changing the ownership structure The government of Kenya the biggest lender saw its holdings rise from 29 8 to 48 9 while that of KLM was diluted from 26 7 down to 7 8 A consortium of local banks through a special purpose vehicle called KQ Lenders Company 2017 Ltd ended up with 38 1 The latter entity is obligated with a loan from the above local banks in the amount of US 225 million this amount in turn is guaranteed by the government The airline s employees through a shareholding scheme and others own the remaining 5 2 53 The Government of Kenya issued a guarantee for a further US 525 million debt owed to Import Export Bank of the United States financier of the newer Boeing planes of its fleet In a bid to recover their exposure syndicated leaseholders and banks unsuccessfully fought these measures to restructure the carrier s
