Polish executives hired in 2017 to 'turnaround' Kenya Airways drew salaries of between Sh3.6 million and Sh5.4 million a month, in what seems to be another flopped strategy for the loss-making carrier. This, even as the loss-making carrier moves to lay-off staff as a cost-cutting measure in the wake of Covid-19. These include house allowance, car rental, fuel, airtime, bodyguard, and travel expenses for the executives and their families. The consultants included Michal Smierciak(project team leader) tasked with introducing changes in supply chain and procurement and Grzegorz Malysz(internal restructuring of KQ's operations including development of a KQ 5-year plan). “Kenya Airways management decided to contract the team of consultants to support turnaround efforts,” he had said.
