KQ seeks financial help from the government to pay salaries

National Carrier, Kenya Airways has sought an undisclosed amount of cash from the government to help it cover critical costs such as payment of staff salaries, its chairman, Michael Joseph, said on Tuesday as reported by Reuters.

The carrier, in which Air France KLM holds a small stake, is only operating a handful of local flights after the government stopped all international flights last week to curb the spread of the new coronavirus.
