The move comes after the airlines net loss for the six months ended June 2020 increased by 67.3% to Sh14.33 billion, which they attributed to Covid-19 pandemic that led to  disruptions of business and grounding of flights.

Kenya airways said last week that their passenger numbers dropped by 55.5% to 1.1 million, down from 2.4 million over the same period last year.

Kenya began gradual resumptions of both  domestic and international flights in July after President Uhuru Kenyatta announced that domestic flights will resume on July 15 while international flights will resume on August 1.

The resumption has been in strict conformity with all the guidelines and protocols introduced by the Ministry of Health and civil aviation authorities to curb the spread of the virus.
