Ric Dees, I thought a new Hong Kong Airport was built in 1998 to get rid of the landing problem cause of the skyscrapers.

@you*** @ricdees

HK's new airport is built into the sea [aka on reclaimed land] which is NOT possible at Wilson airport UNLESS the 'reclaimed land' is from the land-grabbers!

Also I think some crooks are targeting Wilson Airport [then Nairobi National Park]...

The problem at Wilson is there is NO more land to expand the runway [needed for larger planes]...

Nevertheless, I agree that Wilson airport should be expanded for the smaller planes [the various Cessnas, Pipers, etc] so as not to congest JKIA...

Lakini, they are going on strike coz of NOT being paid! KQ should hire them on the cheap...!

KQ does not fly to Dar but Precision does... Competition is good but for those who need to make 'connections' still need the KQ/PW flights... Also PW has the largest network in Tanzania...

Kenya Airways and Travelport, the business services provider to the global travel industry, have signed an agreement which will enable users to gain access to the Kenya Airways’ full inventory of flights and fares, including web fares. The five year agreement will also increase the number of agents from less than 1,000 to over 63,000. Travelport offers through its Galileo and Worldspan platforms, both within Africa and globally would offer the airline access to the travel trade. Kenya Airways has scheduled flights to 50 global destinations including an extensive network in Africa. Managing Director for Travelport in Africa said his firm was looking forward to working closely with Kenya Airways as a strategic partner. Travelport operates in 160 countries and is comprised of: the global distribution system (GDS) business that includes the Worldspan and Galileo brands; GTA, a leading global, multi-channel provider of hotel and ground services; Airline IT Solutions, which hosts mission critical applications and provides business and data analysis solutions for major airlines. This move will be advantageous to Kenya Airways which has significant expansion plans across the continent. (Source: Company Filing)
