Kenya Airways is continues to grapple with flight cancellations and delays, occasioned by operational hurdles stemming from constrained capacity.

KQ Flight 488, slated for departure to Dar es Salaam last night, faced cancellation, prompting affected passengers to be accommodated in nearby hotels while awaiting rescheduling onto the next available flight today.

This comes as a costly affair for a loss making airline as it has to accommodate all the affected passengers on full board.

Similarly, KQ418 bound for Entebbe experienced delays, leaving travelers stranded for extended periods at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).

These disruptions represent a continuation of challenges sparked by last week's adverse weather conditions at JKIA, which led to flight diversions and delayed landings, exacerbating the strain on operational efficiency.

Kenya Airways, in a recent statement, acknowledged the likelihood of service interruptions persisting until the week's conclusion.

Compounding these issues is Kenya Airways' fleet limitations, where any disruption reverberates significantly across its operations, highlighting the airline's vulnerability to unforeseen setbacks.

As KQ grapples with these challenges, passengers remain advised to stay updated on flight statuses and potential scheduling changes, while the carrier undertakes to mitigate disruptions and restore normalcy to its services.
