Kenya Airways Ltd., more commonly known as Kenya Airways, is the flag carrier of Kenya. The company was founded in 1977, after the dissolution of East African Airways. The carrier’s head office is located in Embakasi, Nairobi, with its hub at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
The airline was wholly owned by the Government of Kenya until April 1995, and it was privatised in 1996, becoming the first African flag carrier to successfully do so. Kenya Airways is currently a public-private partnership. The largest shareholder is the Government of Kenya (29.8.%), followed by KLM, which has a 26.73% participation dans la société. The rest of the shares are held by private owners; shares are traded on the Nairobi Stock Exchange, the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange, and the Uganda Securities Exchange. The airline became a full member of SkyTeam in June 2010, and is also a member of the African Airlines Association since 1977. À partir de juin 2013, the company had 4,006 employés. KLM sponsored the process of the company joining SkyTeam in mid-2005. En septembre 2007, the alliance welcomed Kenya Airways as one of the first official SkyTeam Associate Airlines. SkyTeam upgraded the status of the company to a full membership in June 2010. The alliance provides Kenya Airways’ passengers with access to the member airlines’ worldwide network and passenger facilities.
Kenya Airways is widely considered as one of the leading Sub-Saharan operators; à partir de janvier 2013, the carrier is ranked fourth among the top ten ones that operate in Africa by seat capacity, behind South African Airways, Ethiopian Airlines and EgyptAir.
