The information I have is more or less the same as the information that has been posted above. I hear two 772s have already been returned, or are in the process of being returned and also that over 10 skippers recently resigned (fancy word for 'were politely laid off'). And yes, you heard me right. It was the captains who went and not the FOs. Direct Entry Pilot application is closed for now as well. Their 777-300s fly in shifts, meaning they're rarely operating at the same time. There is also the issue of flight cancellations. The following flights, which were scheduled for today, were all cancelled.

07:50 KQ470 Kigali (KGL) Kenya Airways E90 Canceled
08:25 KQ460 Bujumbura (BJM) Kenya Airways E90 Canceled
08:25 KQ116 Amsterdam (AMS)Kenya Airways 773 Canceled
09:00 KQ420 Kilimanjaro (JRO) Kenya Airways EMB Canceled
17:00 KQ464 Bujumbura (BJM) Kenya Airways E90 Canceled
17:20 KQ474 Kigali (KGL) Kenya Airways E90 Canceled
22:40 KQ262 Antananarivo (TNR)Kenya Airways 73W Canceled
