Kenya Airways to cut up to 600 jobs
Kenya Airways, the east African country's struggling national
airline, is to cut up to 600 jobs as part of a bid to achieve
$200 million in savings, the airline said Thursday.
The reductions at the airline, partly owned by the
government as well as Air France KLM, could see around 15
percent of the 4,000-strong workforce cut.
As part of efforts to improve profitability and "seek a long
term sustainable financial structure", the airline said it had
been forced to take "hard decisions on the aircraft we fly as
well as making substantial changes on other aspects of our
business."

is one of the continent's biggest carriers, and a key airline
connecting multiple nations within Africa to Europe and Asia.
"We will embark on a restructuring process that will result in
approximately 600 members of staff being declared
redundant or redeployed elsewhere," the statement said,
adding that the cuts will begin in May.
Kenya has seen international tourist numbers dented in
recent years, with some visitors scared off after attacks by
the Somali-led and Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab insurgents.
