Kenya Airways (KQ) has dismissed social media reports claiming that it has announced job opportunities.

In a statement via X on Monday, July 15, KQ flagged an internal memo calling for job applications purporting to have been issued by the national airline’s human resource office.

KQ urged members of the public to be aware of the fake memo doing rounds on social media and to disregard it.

“Please be aware that the message circulating on social media regarding job openings at Kenya Airways is fake and did not come from us.

“For accurate and hiring information, always refer to our official website and channels,” KQ stated.

The fake memo had asked Kenyans to apply for airline food service, flight attendant, receptionist, booking clerk, and security officer opportunities.

According to the fake memo, the qualifications for the job openings were "O" Level (D+), training in communication skills, excellent computer skills, ability to work independently in a fast-paced constantly changing environment, and ability to cope with and handle stressful situations.

“Candidates should expect a net salary of 45,000-60,000 Ksh which is negotiable after 3 months of probation,” the fake memo stated.
