Kenya Airways Plc plans to add as many as 20 new destinations in Africa, Europe and Asia in the next five years, Chief Executive Officer Sebastian Mikosz said.

The route-network expansion will help sub-Saharan Africa’s third-biggest carrier, in the midst of a turnaround program after a record loss in 2016, return to profit. On Wednesday, the airline reported a 6.1 billion-shilling ($60.3 million) loss for the nine months through December.
