What you need to know:

  • The National Aviation Management Bill seeks to give the government full control over the airline by October.
  • Currently, the State owns 48.9 per cent of the carrier with the rest shared by non-government entities.

Nationalisation of Kenya Airways (KQ) won’t fix the financial turbulence at the airline, the management has said.

The airline’s chief executive, Allan Kilavuka, told the Nation the move won’t return the national carrier to its past glory.
