The Kenyan flag carrier, which posted a pre-tax loss of Ks 17.93 billion (US$138.3 million approximately), attributed this outcome to the continued grounding of a third of its long-haul fleet. This circumstance has resulted in an 18% drop in available capacity in terms of Available Seat Kilometers (ASKs), as well as 13% fewer passengers and 14% less revenue in 2025. Cargo volume, an important contributor to the airline’s coffers, also fell by 8%. At the root of this problem is the increased lead times to perform maintenance of the GE Aerospace GEnx-1B engines that power Kenya Airways Dreamliner fleet, due mostly to supply chain constraints. This problem has forced the airline to ground three of its nine Boeing 787-8 aircraft for prolonged periods of time during 2025, with the consequent loss of revenue on some of its most valuable international routes. The 2025 results represent a bit of a blow for an airline that had just recently managed to pull itself out of a rather long period of financial distress. Following a period of restructuring, Kenya Airways had returned to profitability in 2024, when it posted a full year net profit of Ks 5.4 billion (US$41.7 million approximately).

The airline’s acting CEO (and back then COO) George Kamal, already warned, in an Executive Spotlight interview with AeroTime conducted in Q4 2025 , that the impact of the Dreamliner groundings would be significant. Another factor in the airline’s swing in fortunes in 2025 has been the fact that the Kenyan Shilling has stopped appreciating against the US dollar. Currency gains were a major contributor to Kenya Airways’ financial bottom line the preceding year. The airline expects to return to profitability as soon as it can bring its capacity back up on the long-haul market. The Kenyan carrier has also registered increased demand in Q1 2026, as it captures part of the international traffic that is now avoiding transiting through hubs in the Gulf region. In this context, reports have appeared in the Kenyan media suggesting that Kenya Airways is in the sights of several foreign investors which may be interested in acquiring a significant equity stake or even some of its business units, like its cargo division.

The airline announced in September 2024 that it was planning to raise up to €100 million in additional capital through convertible notes in order to fuel its ongoing European expansion. The final amount raised, however, has been capped at €71 million. According to the airline, funds from its own operations have sufficed to cover its remaining financing needs. The bulk of this capital, €56 million, had already been committed by October 2025, with the additional €15 million in funding having been secured in the first quarter of 2026. Aegean Airlines, the largest carrier in Greece, has led the round, with a €50 million investment which gives it a 21% equity stake in Volotea. Investment firm PAR Capital and Alaeo, which is the investment vehicle of founder Carlos Muñoz and the airline’s management team, have also participated in the successive funding rounds. Privately-owned Volotea had not yet disclosed exact financial performance figures as of March 26, 2026, but in October 2025 it provided guidance anticipating record revenue and profit figures for 2025.

EBITDA is expected to reach €190 million, up 29% compared to the preceding year, which would represent a rather remarkable margin, for industry standards, of 22–24%. EBIT margin, in turn, is expected to be in the 8.5-9% range, 4.5 percentage points above that of 2024. In February 2026, Volotea reported that it had carried 11.3 million passengers in 2025, achieving a load factor of 90%. In 2026, the airline plans to expand its capacity by 12%, to 14 million seats distributed among 430 routes within Europe. In December 2025 and January 2026, Volotea also announced the establishment of two new French bases, in Montpellier (MPL) and Limoges (LIG), respectively. Volotea is basing an Airbus A320 aircraft in Montpellier and adding four new destinations from the French southern city to Bordeaux (BOD), Madrid (MAD), Tenerife-South (TFS) and Lanzarote (ACE). Limoges, in turn, is getting an A319 aircraft and eight new nonstop routes to Paris-Orly (ORY), Barcelona (BCN), Rome Fiumicino (FCO), Marseilles (MRS), Ajaccio (AJA), Palma (PMI), Minorca (MAH) and Malaga (AGP).
