How is the Kenya Airways financial organization?

According to audited financial statements, Kenya Airways reported a total revenue of KSh 188.5 billion, an increase of 5.6% from KSh 178.5 billion in 2023.

The success of foreign exchange in the cash flow flower reached KSh 10.5 billion, thus hampering the loss of KSh 15 billion in the previous year.
