Kenya Airways (KQ) has issued a profit warning for the year ending December 31, 2025, anticipating a profit drop of at least 25 percent due to grounded planes and a severe shortage of engine parts.

• The airline attributed the significant expected decline to the grounding of three of its Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, representing about 33% of its wide-body fleet.
• The operational challenges have already impacted financial performance, with total revenue for the six months ending June 30, 2025, falling by approximately 19 percent.
• This reduction stems from a global supply chain constraint for spare parts and engine availability challenges affecting the aviation industry.
