Kenya Airways (KQ) has won a court battle over a disputed advertising contract, with the High Court declining to stop the airline from terminating an exclusive deal with a local media company and directing the parties to resolve their dispute through arbitration.

The dispute pits the national carrier against Digital Mara Media, which claims it has suffered losses exceeding Sh300 million after Kenya Airways allegedly breached an agreement granting it exclusive rights to manage and commercialise advertising spaces on KQ aircraft and platforms.
