Founded in January 1977, Kenya Airways commenced operations in February, 1977. The airline is the flag carrier of Kenya, founded in 1977, after the dissolution of East African Airways. The carrier's head office is located in Embakasi, Nairobi, with its hub at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Kenya Airways is widely considered to be one of the leading Sub-Saharan operators.

The airline was wholly owned by the Government of Kenya until April 1995, and it was privatized in 1996, becoming the first African flag carrier to successfully do so. Kenya Airways is currently a public-private partnership. The largest shareholder is the Government. Kenya Airways has a fleet size of forty three aircraft and flies to fifty six destinations.
