PRIME KQ tops dues to KCAA with Sh1.5billion unpaid service fees 21.08.2026

Kenya Airways (KQ) owes the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) Sh1.5 billion in unpaid service fees as of June 2025, representing 65% of the regulator's total Sh2.3 billion debt from all air operators. This debt accounts for nearly 90% of what domestic operators owe, making KQ a significant credit risk. KCAA disclosed that part of the debt has been outstanding for over two years, and it has been engaging the airline to recover the fees. Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu questioned the recoverability of the debt due to its age and size, stating that "the recoverability of the long outstanding balance is doubtful."
