Current aircraft page publishes 30 Premier World / 204 Economy, 75-inch Premier World pitch, generic 32-inch Economy pitch and AVOD in both cabins.
Its generic 32-inch Economy figure conflicts with KQ's product-specific current seat FAQ (34-inch Economy Comfort; 31-inch remaining Economy), so the more specific FAQ controls the modeled seat types. The page publishes no row map.

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.

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, 14-23 and 25-36, category colors, a Door 3 break, and center-only seat symbols at rows 35-36.
Economy only; Premier World is omitted. Gray X marks are not keyed as structural absence, so installed positions are reconciled against KQ’s explicit 204-seat Economy total.

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 30 Premier World / 204 Economy = 234, a 75-inch full-lie-flat Premier World product, and an Economy-only diagram. The published Economy grid uses sparse rows 11, 12, 14-23 and 25-36. Reconciled to the explicit 204-seat count, rows through 34 contain all nine installed positions and rows 35-36 contain only D/E/F (22 x 9 + 2 x 3 = 204); gray X marks elsewhere in the static selection illustration are treated as unavailable seats, not absent structure. Economy Comfort rows 11/12/14 and 34-inch pitch come from KQ's product-specific FAQ; that source's 31-inch remaining-Economy pitch controls over the generic aircraft page's conflicting 32-inch figure. The diagram omits Premier World, so its five conventional 2-2-2 rows, row numbers 1-5 and A/C-D/F-G/J columns are DERIVED from the published count and paired full-flat product; the premium cabin and its rows are marked derived. Economy category zones and the Door 3 anchor are published. Exact window alignment, other monuments, bassinets, recline exceptions, seat widths, screen sizes and hardware models are not asserted. The repository contained no 787-8 window-grid file on 2026-07-17, so aircraft.windowGridType is intentionally omitted.
