Kenya Airways reported a $124 million net loss for the first half of the year, driven by surging fuel expenses and ongoing supply chain delays. While the African carrier achieved a solid nine percent boost in revenue, operating costs easily outpaced those gains. To stabilize operations, the airline is seeking new capital and restoring widebody capacity, recently completing an in-house heavy maintenance check to reactivate a Boeing 787. For pilots, these global logistics bottlenecks highlight how parts shortages continue to directly restrict fleet utilization and line flying.
