Kenya Airways chief steps down after less than a year

George Kamal has resigned as CEO of Kenya Airways, effective immediately, following just under a year in the role. This departure comes shortly after the airline reported significant financial losses during its first half of the fiscal year. Habil Waswani, director of legal services, will assume interim leadership responsibilities at Kenya Airways. The SkyTeam Alliance member cited the recent net loss as a factor contributing to Kamal’s decision. Analysts are currently assessing the impact of this change on the carrier's strategic direction and future performance.
