NAIROBI, March 23 (Reuters) - Kenya Airways said on Tuesday its pretax loss for last year tripled to 36.57 billion shillings ($333.2 million) as the coronavirus crisis hit demand for travel.
The carrier, which is part-owned by Air France KLM AIRF.PA, said its revenue plunged by more than half during the period, as lockdown measures reduced passenger levels.
"2020 was of course one of the worst years for aviation," Michael Joseph, its chairman, told an online investor briefing.

The airline's basic loss per share jumped to 6.22 shillings in 2020 from 2.23 shillings in the prior year, it said
