Kenya Airways jobs: the KQ careers portal and how to avoid fake offers
Where Kenya Airways and its group companies post openings, how to search by division, and how to spot fake airline recruitment.
Airline jobs attract more fake adverts than almost any other employer name in Kenya. Kenya Airways posts its openings on its own careers portal. Here is how the portal is organised and what a real KQ application looks like.
One portal for the group
Kenya Airways links to its careers portal from its main website. The portal lets you search jobs by location and browse by division: cargo, commercial, corporate quality and safety, finance, information technology, legal and compliance, operations, people, strategy and innovation, technical, and the managing director's office.
The same portal covers the group companies: Jambojet, Fahari Aviation and Kenya Airfreight Handling Limited. When we checked on 1 November 2026, every division showed no open positions.
How to follow openings
- Bookmark the careers portal and check the divisions that match your skills.
- Create your profile when a role opens, so your details are ready for the next one.
- Read each advert for the qualifications, licences and medical standards it requires. Flight and technical roles are regulated and the advert says what is needed.
Signs of a fake airline job
- You are asked to pay for training, a uniform, a medical or a visa before you are hired.
- The offer comes by WhatsApp or a free email address, not through the careers portal.
- You are hired without an interview or an assessment.
- The pay is far above the market for the role.
No real programme charges you to apply, to be shortlisted or to be placed. If someone asks for money for a place, it is a scam.
