Kenya Airways Tanzanian subsidiary Precision Air will scale back on routes and cancel aircraft leases after returning a net loss of Sh1.65 billion for the year ended March 2013.
The airline will also terminate what it terms as expensive leases of Boeing 737 aircraft.
Increased expenditure saw the airline return a net loss in spite of a growth in total revenue, which went up by 8.2 per cent to Sh9.56 billion, and passenger numbers which grew by 8.5 per cent to 895,150.
Direct expenditure for Precision Air went up by 24 per cent to Sh7.85 billion due to increased cost of fuel and equipment-related costs.
Aircraft maintenance costs increased from Sh644.6 million in 2011 to Sh1.28 billion in 2012, mainly due to the high costs of maintaining the Boeing 737 fleet.
The airline has shaken up its top management, with the new team tasked with implementing a new five-year strategic plan that will also oversee staff retrenchment and a move to third-party aircraft maintenance and advertising.
Indirect expenditure grew by 18.6 per cent to Sh2.28 billion, driven mainly by staff-related costs that went up by eight per cent to Sh1.54 billion in 2012, said the board chairman Michael Shirima in a statement.
Mr Shirima has a 43 per cent stake in the airline, while Kenya Airways has 41.2 per cent. The rest of the airlines shares were sold in an IPO in 2011. KQs ownership of Precision Air was diluted to 41.2 per cent from 49 per cent after the IPO.
Precision Air has leased three Boeing aircraft that serve several African routes.
The scaling back of its fleet and routes could yet reduce the growth in passenger numbers for the airline, threatening growth in revenue.
In addition to the higher expenditure costs, the company also experienced foreign exchange losses of Sh238.4 million for the financial year ending March 2013, representing a 50 per cent increase on the foreign exchange losses from the previous year.
