That sector is busy... when available, they have a 767-300 on the route!

The 767 is ocassional. There are I think 2 or 3 737's fully dedicated. Every 20 or 30 min a 737 is taking off fm HKMO! Jetlink have a similar frequency, giving the true definition of a festive season.

There are two 737-300s that I am aware of... Not sure why the 767-300 was being used... Perhaps they had cargo as well? No idea!

One advantage of using a 767 is the flight was 35 mins! The rest of the 1 hour was waiting to take off & getting to the gate!

I don't know whether am old fashioned or what but why would any-one want to fly to Mombasa during the holidays! when the drive down has a much better experience!! or is it just another of a queer habits!

The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.

I was flying solo + time crunch. BTW, IMHO the cost of driving to Mombasa [alone] is higher than flying...

Best case: 50 litres to Mombasa = 4,700/- + wear & tear + traffic + stress + time

[BTW, the cost of flying should include cab fares to/from the airports]

An advantage of having your own car is no need to use cabs/tuktuks/rentals + convenience

Last time (11th Dec) I looked across at the Old Airport apron (The Air-force), I saw two 737s parked that seemed like they were undergoing a paint job. I suspect these were the leased kites from KLM, so probably they haven't finished with the paint-job, hence lack of 737s on the Msa route, where they were to be deployed on a full-time basis.

Interesting. Why would they be re-painting them during the PEAK travel season??? I wonder if there is drop in African traffic thus the availability of the 767?

[BTW, as a shareholder, I don't care if the leased planes are in KLM colors. Kwani? Passengers watakata to fly in the planes? These are mainly for NBO-MBA routes]

@vvs n gg, I think the lease was to last only 2months, n its already xpired. Two months ago there were 2 blue kq 737s (in what appered to be KLM livery with large white words "Kenya airways") plying msa route. No longer there.
