Kenya Airways (KQ) will continue to shoulder more losses on its Europe route after Schiphol International airport extended passenger caps to October from the initial August date it had issued.
This happens as airports in Europe continue to grapple with a shortage of manpower.
The move implies that KQ and other carriers will not be allowed to operate at full capacity out of Schiphol.
In June, Amsterdam capped the number of passengers that the national carrier can carry from Schiphol to Nairobi to 78% of its capacity on every flight, meaning that the airline is flying empty seats out of the Netherlands.
Europe was the second-highest revenue earner for the airline last year, raking in KSh11.3 billion.
