KQ Leadership Shake-Up as George Kamal Resigns After Nine Months as Acting CEO

George Kamal has resigned from his position as Acting CEO of Kenya Airways after only nine months in the role, marking a significant leadership change for the national carrier. Kenya Airways has appointed Habil Waswani as its acting Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, replacing Captain George Kamal who departs after four years with the airline. At the same time, a strike by JKIA workers has significantly impacted travelers, businesses, and tourism in Kenya, causing widespread disruption at the country's main international airport. JKIA operations resumed after the worker strike was suspended, restoring some normalcy to air travel.
