Current aircraft page publishes eight Boeing 737-800s in the standard 16 Premier World / 129 Economy configuration.
Counts only; no Premier World row map or seat dimensions. A separate KQ release documents an additional 170-seat 737-800.

Current official seat-selection page embeds the Kenya Airways 787-8, 737-800 and E190 economy-cabin diagrams together with a category legend.
The embedded diagrams show Economy only; none supplies the omitted Premier World row grid.

Official diagram legend identifies Economy Comfort, Extra Legroom, Preferred, chargeable and non-chargeable seat symbols.

Current seat FAQ describes Economy Comfort, Extra Legroom and Preferred as chargeable seat-selection products; it identifies 787 Economy Comfort rows 11, 12 and 14 at 34-inch pitch and says the remaining 787 Economy cabin has 31-inch pitch.
Only the 787 Economy Comfort product receives an exact pitch and row list; no exact Extra Legroom pitch is published for these configurations.

Official Economy diagram supplies sparse rows 11, 12 and 14-33, category colors, two overwing exit pairs and a final left-side row-33 block.
Economy only; Premier World is omitted. Gray X marks are not keyed as structural absence, so installed positions are reconciled against KQ’s explicit 129-seat Economy total.

Official February 2025 release announces a distinct added passenger 737-800 with 170 installed seats.
No cabin split, row map, seat product or dimensions are published; the 170-seat config is therefore reported blocked rather than fabricated.

The 2025 integrated report, published in 2026, lists 787-8, 737-8 and E190 passenger aircraft in service at year end, separately lists grounded 787-8/E190 aircraft, and separates freighters and group Dash 8-400 aircraft.
Year-end serviceability counts are a point-in-time operational snapshot, not config applicability counts; this corpus therefore omits fleetCount.

Kenya Airways publishes 16 Premier World / 129 Economy = 145 and an Economy-only diagram. The published Economy grid uses sparse rows 11, 12 and 14-33; reconciled to the explicit 129-seat count, rows through 32 contain all six installed positions and row 33 contains only A/B/C (21 x 6 + 3 = 129). Gray X marks elsewhere in the static selection illustration are treated as unavailable seats, not absent structure. The diagram supplies Preferred rows 12/14-16, Extra Legroom rows 11/18/19 and both overwing exit pairs. Premier World is omitted, so four conventional 2-2 rows, numbers 1-4 and A/C-G/J columns are DERIVED from the 16-seat count and current paired premium-cabin imagery; the premium cabin and rows are marked derived. The exact 737-800 engineering grid is bound, but exact window alignment remains unknown pending direct KQ evidence; classifier output is not manually promoted. KQ separately announced a 170-seat 737-800 added in February 2025, and its latest annual report lists nine 737-8 aircraft in service versus eight on the standard 145-seat type page. That distinct 170-seat config is BLOCKED: no permitted primary/neutral source located publishes its cabin split or current row map, so this file does not fabricate it. Other monuments, recline exceptions, dimensions and hardware models are not asserted.
What changed
