Allan Kilavuka is retiring as the chief executive officer of Kenya Airways (KQ) after six years at the helm, marking the end of a tenure defined by crisis management, debt restructuring and a gradual post-pandemic recovery.
The board of the Kenyan flag carrier announced that he will proceed on terminal leave ahead of expiry of his term in April, with the airline’s chief operating officer George Kamal set to take over in an interim capacity effective Tuesday. The search for a substantive successor for Mr Kilavuka has started.
